brake booster bolt pattern
Just bolted up my new brake booster. When the m/c would not fit I'm thinking wtf!! The bolts on the booster are 3 3/8", the m/c is 3 1/2". I really don't want to remove the booster as it's a real PITA
Any suggestions?

It looks just like my old one(minus all the rust) and the brake pedal bracket fit as well.

Is the only different the bore size in the flange of the master?
I have two ideas, neither of which I have had to try. One, is a different master, as that might be easier than removing that booster again. If you cannot find a master with larger bore holes, the maybe the holes in the master's flange can be bored out to match the studs.
Like I said, I have not done either but both seem viable.

That's what I was thinking. I just wanted another opinion on the booster. I'll check on a new m/c today. If I can't find one with the right bolt pattern. I'll bore out the old mount holes.

You have the worst of it already done.
