This kit fits
- 1979-93 Mustang

- Manual transmission pedal box
- Automatic transmission pedal box
Benefits
- Alternative to vacuum-assisted brakes that no longer function properly because of low engine vacuum.
- Consistent pedal feel because the pedal effort no longer varies from fluctuating vacuum level.
- Reduces weight.
- Pedal effort is reduced, compared to reusing a power brake pedal with a manual conversion, because the MM pedal arm has the proper leverage ratio for manual brakes.
- The pedal feels firmer because the MM pedal arm is much stiffer than the stock pedal. This quickens brake response and improves modulation.
- Firewall adapter block mounts the master cylinder at the proper angle for correct pushrod alignment. A misaligned pushrod will damage the master cylinder piston seals.
- Pedal pad height (the pad distance from the firewall) may be changed for easier heel and toeing.
- Quickens brake response because it eliminates the motion lost by the stock brake light switch attachment design.
- Time Required: 4 hours (approximately)
- Skill Level: Intermediate - You should have "above average" mechanical knowledge/experience to attempt this installation.
- Mustang 1979-1993 GT
- Mustang 1979-1993 LX
