help! I guess I cannot think outside of the box! I am trying to install a replacement brake booster on my 66 healey. Instructions dont tell me anything. I know it surely wont go in the stock location and I am unable to come up with a safe solution. Anyone have a photo of a proper install? Thanks in advance!

Why??? don't you have a set of original mounting brackets they may need to be straightened out and made to fit.--Keoke

I will look again at brackets but I dont think there is room to put this booster in the original location due its length and the attitude it is suppose to be sitting.

It will fit. The unit can sit at X degree angle. I don't remember what the number is but it fits. And as the previous post, you just bent the mounting brackets a little. I suggest putting the brake lines on the unit prior to mounting and then connect the other ends, as they are out in the open a little more. You do have to bleed the unit also.
