Excellent. This sounds like one good solution with minimum modification and you get modern, easily replaceable parts.
I wonder if any adjustment of the booster is required (setting the linkage length) before welding the nut in place? Since my car and manual are unavailable right now to look at I'm kind of guessing at what get's connected. I wonder if a threaded coupler or threaded sleeve could be welded on that has more adjustment potential? Then the jam nut could be added too.
Pictures would be good too. This is a road that all will cross soon. Think death and taxes....and the age of dinosaurs, I guess, only we're not T-Rex or even a Triceratops.
I actually just bought a new Opel booster from OGTS and when my master cylinder needs replacing I may try one from a Honda Civic. I'm also interested in any other possibilities that would easily fit onto the stock booster including the sometimes mythical Cardone one from Rockauto, Autozone, etc.
I guess they all keep that on their websites to "keep hope alive". When I see this it's like there really is a "Land of Plenty" (or Promised Land, as the case may be) when it comes to Opel parts; i.e...it's like 1970 again, and we just landed on the Moon and anything is possible, and........ I think that J.C. Whitney might advertise piston sets for a '72 1.9 L. GT but they are actually Ford V8 pistons. If you go ahead and order them because you are just a damn fool optimist and can't totally read, they either fit...and work.....and you have a spare set to boot......."Ha ha, take that!". or you are just out of luck Chuck and your already growing Opel parts cynicism is only cruelly reinforced.
