Default export brace > brake booster

im thinking of upgrading to power brakes once i get the cobra brakes on. will this booster fit with a one piece export brace?

booster

i know this one guy who has the stock 2 piece export braces on his 66, and he just took one of the braces off too fit a booster.... . he does jinky work obviously.

i just bought cobra calipers and brand new drilled brembo rotors all for $250.

found em on craigslist right after you showed me the mustangsteve website the other day.

i took the calipers to work today and took em all apart and cleaned em up real nice in the solvent tank. look brand new now. i should just get some new pads.
