    I had swapped in the power brake setup from an '85 CJ7 into Dutch - so the MC, boost unit, linkage, firewall bracket, underdash bracket and pedal (modified).

    What would I need different if I wanted to do manual brakes using this stuff instead?

    As good as the 11" drums work with the stock '64 MC, I'm thinking the power setup is overkill and would like to simplify.

    Mike you should be able to go and get a non power MC and bolt it right in place or try to remove the power booster and see if the MC bolts up. I think they used the same mount bracket power or non power.

    IIRC they used a different mount for the power booster than just the master cylinder. Trade ya.
