Default Hydroboost clevis; is this right?

Is my theory correct? Just cut and thread the hydro rod at a little over the same length the stock rod was, screw on clevis and done?



Stock rod length.




Cut hydro rod and thread?

Yes, that looks right. To make removal easier in the future, I removed the studs from the hydro boost plate and inserted them from the inside of the car facing into the engine compartment, then use the nuts to hold the hb plate to the firewall.

Thanks on both counts! I wasn't really looking forward to crawling under the dash for an hour or so.
