I converted the brakes up front to Disc Brakes.

But after installing the brake lines. I reliezed that I installed the Brake Booster upside down. Now the Vacoom connection is on the bottom and not the top.

I would normally just fix it, but it was a pain to get the booster in place.

will it work ? [&:]

I'm assuming that the master cylinder is the right side up...RIGHT? If so yes the booster should work.

I just installed disk brakes, master cylinder and a power booster. How exactly did you do that? Did the holes for the booster actually match up or did you modify them?

LOL How did you do that?!? We also just fitted a new brake booster and hydraulic clutch master cylinder this past week and I don't understand how you could have mounted it upside down. hehe funny really. [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

hmm maybe you got an odd booster because I thought it had a specific bolt pattern to line it up. hmm maybe not! anyway it should hold vacuum just the same no matter what position its in I would think

WTF? How did you just grind off areas and get it to fit.. The bolt holes area specific pattern.
