We started by removing these two braces that run from behind the dash (above the
steering column) to the backside of the firewall. The new pedal assembly will
provide the bracing.

Here's where you'll need to find a friend to help tighten the nuts under the
dash. The front of the pedal assembly was bolted to the firewall plate using the
upper two holes. The 8-inch single-diaphragm vacuum power booster was then
installed using the lower four holes. The unit is now bolted together to form a
solid mount.

The pedal was installed using the supplied hardware at its pivot point at the
top of the bracket. The adjustable booster pushrod was then bolted to the pedal.
