Thanks for the information.
Is there welding involved with the bracing?
Do they offer the missing pieces (pedal)
or tell you one that works without modification?
Can you use your existing brake light switch?

I have the magazine too, don't remember which one. The firewall bracing
bracket comes with the kit. The kit doesn't come with the brake light
switch or pedal. It does come with the booster, master, firewall to
dash brace/pedal hangar bracket, pedal hangar and firewall spacer for
trucks with a ridged firewall (like mine). It also comes with the
various necessary mounting hardware and good instructions. It is an
easy one to install.
