    The factory brake booster is a bulky unit with a unique tower brace.
    Look around classic Mustang and Falcon sites online...
    There is a swap that works on Mavs as well that uses a Geo brake booster.
    It is bolt in and very compact.
    Looks much better, IMO, than the stock unit... and leaves you with room to work if you need to get into that area. Also, no special tower brace.
    If you do a stock swap, you must get the right tower brace. YOU DO NOT WANT TO OPERATE YOUR CAR WITHOUT A TOWER BRACE.
    Good luck
    Dave
