Thanks Ryan. I am using the power brake pedal for the 67 cougar. Right now the pin is lower than the hydroboost rod. I will move the pin and also likely the pivot so that the arc of the pedal matches the direction the hydroboost rod travels (currently it travels up at an angle because of the wedge). I believe the stock 67 ratio for power is around 3:1.

Oh wow! Didnt know they were that low! The had an 04 Cobra as a daily for a few years, loved the hydroboost. Had good pedal feel without being over assisted. Did a 70 Mach build recently and used the stock pedal setup. Got a needle bearing setup for the stock clutch pivot rod. Don't know what you're doing in that area, but it's much smoother than the bushings if you haven't already done so.

Finally getting settled into my new digs, and trying to get back to mine. Only other cougar on here right now from a brief search. Keep the updates comin!

Ryan

Yeah, I was a little shocked too when I took the measurements. My brother had an 04 Mach I and I loved the brakes on it too. I was fortunate to find a used 04 cobra hydroboost for cheap and decided I would adapt it to my car. As for the clutch setup, I did install the roller bearing conversion. I used a Scott Drake kit. I hope to get the new wedge soon so I can modify my pedal accordingly.

More updates. Brake pedal mod for adapting an 03 cobra hydroboost to the cougar pedal support. I replicated the pedal ratio from the cobra.

Used parts from the S197 mustang and adapted them to the cougar clutch pedal.

Sweet deal man! The wedge seems like it will add quite a bit of clearance. Keep the updates comin!

Thanks Ryan. Your measurements on the cobra brake pedal helped immensely. I do have a lot of clearance between the engine and the hydroboost. You can see in the picture below. This is with the engine set at 3 degrees down and not having to shift the brake assembly towards the driver's side like I've seen in other builds. I can get to 2.5 and still have plenty of clearance. Only issue I have now is clearing the billet hood hinge shock which I never really liked because it limits the height the hood can be opened. I have an idea that will solve those 2 problems.

This is going to be amazing.

Much win.

Nice work! Glad to see you making progress on the car.

Updates? Hell has frozen over since I worked on my coug the past 2 weekends straight....hasn't happened in months... :poke: eh?

Lol. No updates on my end either Ryan. Been helping my brother with his 66 mustang. His car is much closer to completion than mine. I have some pictures of it if as proof I did some work. :lol:

I'm hoping the color evened out or the phone pic just gave it a greenish hue because it was suppose to be matte black.
