Hey Guys, Is the VL n/a and VLT Brake Booster braket on back of Booster the same? I know the metal bracket on the struct tower are different which I have the VLT one. Problem is seing that the VLT brake booster is Double Diapram hence longer The 1" Master Cylinder on the VLT Booster now goes past the threads on strut Tower and the bracket to bolt is up doesnt line up? Is there a different rear bracket between the N/A and VLT Brake Booster? Is the VLT and VN or VP V8 Boosters the same? As I'm not 100% if the Double Diaphram booster is from a VLT or VN-VP V8

Are you sure you have the correct strut tower brace? Yes with the double diaphragm booster and the 1" master will go past the holes on the strut tower hence the different strut tower brace.

Maybe it is just a very tight fit ,may have to play around with it and maybe bend the bracket that goes on the strut tower a little.. Damn it.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah it is a bit of a tight fit. bit fiddly to do the nuts up as they are now behind the master not in front of it. i got my bracket out of a vr or something from memory

I just swapped mine from n/a to vlt brake booster and master, i gave it a quick shot and couldnt get in on so i swore at it a few times and left it at that.
