Default 7" Dual Diaphragm Brake Booster

I switched from 9" Single Diaphragm to a 7" Dual Diaphragm to gain more valve cover to booster clearance. 9" only had 1/4 inch at the most. Now I have LOTS of room but there a few minor problems.

Here is what I did ====>>>

Very clean looking. Goes with the rest of your motor very nicely. Great job!

Very nice.Thanks for posting.
I tried to install a stock style brake booster on my 65 but it hit my tall valve covers. I was considering a dual 7" booster. Now I know it will work. How do the brakes feel?

Last September I posed this question:

I knew if I waited long enough, someone would come up with the answer.

Procrastination is my middle name. Thanks Black_Magic!

That's the thread that got me thinking and researching

Pretty close to the 9" single maybe a little less pressure to stop but not enough to tell a major difference.
