I have an '85 CJ-7 with 33's and manual brakes. It won't exactly stop on a dime so I went to my local Jeep yard and picked up a used (don't know year)CJ powerbooster and master cylynder. Except for drilling out holes in firewall, (power unit has 4-bolt mounting to bracket, non has 2-bolts direct from master) should I expect to have to change anything? And can I drain all fluid from system and gravity bleed new stuff in?
Perspective is everything!
And rust is stronger than you think!

Bout the only other thing I could think of that might be different is the equalizer valve that is below the master cylinder on the frame rail and possibly the pedal assembly might connect in a different manner. Check yours out and go back to the donor vehicle to make sure what you have is the same. Good luck and keep us posted as to what you find. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the Info. As soon as this cold spell breaks I'll give it a shot! (I really wish I had a garage!)
Thanks! -Johnny

The power brake option has extra support at the firewall with a bracket an the hanging pedal assy. has a matching bracket made into it, should get the hole assy. an do it rite.
