Dual-Circuit Power Booster Brake Success! Last Question. 120-130

Okay... not entirely there yet. I need to finish the plumbing and the vacuum hose to the booster. But check this out




Pricetag for this lovely thing? $90.00 for just the welding...

$40.00 - firewall mount fabrication and welding.
$50.00 - booster mount fabrication and welding.

To be fair, they had to rush the booster flange for me so I think it was a bit more. Plus they used proper 1/4" steel there... The overall booster stand is much shorter now too. And a good thing too if you see how little space I have in front of it.

So. Now the tricky part. How to get my 122 brake pedal to actuate this thing. The booster has a really big (5/16, 1/2) fine thread bolt that I need to secure to to my pedal... I recall having a hard time finding a long grade 8 fine thread when I was using an external booster and just the 1800 MC. Not sure how I'm going to get it all together without another trip to the welder and at least $15.00.

I saved the pedal box from the 1800E, but there's no way I can use those parts to join the booster up to my 122 pedal...

Any ideas??
