Use the Stock Booster - Modify the Clevis

[BBDirtbiking]

Just did this, and damn is it a pain in the neck to bolt it back on after moving it half an inch. My arm is all cut up from the brake pedal, haha.

Slotted 1/2" and did this.

Anyone have an extra clevis laying around? Please PM me.

I'm using the stock booster. I just re-drilled the holes 1/2 to the right. Works like a charm.

Hows that working out?

Looks like the easiest way

Yeah I'm curious as to why we are looking for these options if the above is true.

Because it wasn't true for me - and many others.

Moving the booster is easy. Affixing the clevis onto the pedal linkage without removing the pedal, or using only half of the clevis, or putting an angle into the booster rod that wasn't designed to be there and often causes brakes that drag and won't return, isn't so easy.

This "double clevis" approach solves the alignment issue, and allows use of the stock on and bracket, maintaining the function of the stock system.

And it's cheap and simple.

OP, first off, thanks for the Clevis idea. I used it, and I think its a better option than downgrading to a smaller booster.

I had saved an extra booster to get a clevis and cut in half, Just like your setup.. but somebody chucked it and I already had my stuff all apart so I decided to just make the third clevis leg out of scrap steel. works the same..


And I modified the pedal gear bracket to accept the 4th booster nut.

I just cut half of the clevis off and attached the other half to the left side of the pedal using washers to make up for the difference on the pin. This makes it perfectly straight as if the booster was never moved. I'll get a photo so you can see what I'm talking about...

24V+ stock /e21 boosters, that's that shit I DON'T LIKE.

I moved my whole pedal box over with the booster. But, I needed my brake pedal a little further away from gas pedal.

long extensions and swivel sockets are your friend
