Sorry it took a while for me to scrounge up the old casting. The bore is in
questionable condition. I think the dual cylinder is a great idea. I made my
own power booster bracket, and it was a pain. A manual bracket would be only
somewhat easier. The hard part is making the hole for the pin. It is
something like a .868 diameter hole. I had to rough it out with a 13/16
endmill and ream it to size with an adjustable reamer. Buying the kit is the
easier and probably cheaper way to go.
