Searching it may not bring up much. Maybe try the Google site: oilburners.net "hydroboost pedal" might work.
But I can't remember any specific threads started off of redrilling the pedal.

I have a spare pedal setup, problem is, I am kinda mid-move, and my welders, parts truck, and other tools are scattered between 3 places, and between moving, organizing, full time job, and side work, I need to maximize my available free time.
Was hoping to bolt in the pedal and go.
I have searched on the pedal mod itself, the only part that has me concerned is the brake switch aspect, I could never find a definitive answer on that to do.
I would still ratger just bolt in the whole kit and kaboodle and be done.
Now I am a 2 post wonder.

the brake switch gets installed on the pin.
so don't weld the front side.
OBS is vague at best. technically all fords till 97 are OBS, but the years matter
80-86, 87-91, 92+
you say brake pedal.....
are you looking for the pedal or the entire assembly.
manual or auto?

Roger that.
OBS 92-96/7. Looking for the pedal and bracket for an auto tran.
I see how the brake switch attaches to the standard vacuum booster, it was my understanding that the "legit" hydrobooster switch setup comes out with the wires rotated 90*, so as to not hit the column.

The actual brake switch for the lights is on the pedal. It attaches to the pin for the booster/master cylinder rod

IIRC, the pin moves 3/4". I simply drilled a new hole and threaded it... 9/16" UNF I think it was. Loctite a bolt in. Grease the threads. Nylock nut to retain rod. Cut the old pin off.

I don't recall anything changing for the brake switch.
