Back to the Binder's brake job..
Found more work to do. See that open hole, that's where the brake pin use to be.
I pressed it out drilled a new hole 3/4" further up on the oem K15 arm.
Pressed it in and welded the back side ...
This was done to have a better working angle for the pushrod ..
What I has before wasn't going to work, pushrod was binding haft stroke .
With the new pin location the pushrod can do it's thing full travel ...
Made a gasket for the plate to firewall ..
Just for keeping water from getting in the cab ...
I'm trying to figure out how to get 110 lbs of torque on the nut that holds the hydroboost to the special made plate without spending big $$ ..
Amazon has one ...
A bit pricey ..
Might have to torque it down too two grunts and a fart ....

Two grunts and a fart have worked for many a backyard mechanic. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

It would be nice to know when to stop farthing at 110 foot pounds of torque, but to spend a $100 just for a one time use ...
It was bad enough to spend $40 on a hole punch set just to do 4 holes ..
Dang nice set, I've got to say ...
( Shame I'm a cheap bastard )
Don't see this on a 54 IH R-100 very often ..
And having hydroboost assist brakes to boot .. !
( That was a job, I'm here to tell ya )

It does suck having to spend money on something you will use only once. Been there done that.
