Vacuum Pump Relocation Bracket w/sPOD & Big Brakes?
Looking for what vacuum pump relocation mount bracket kit works when there's a sPOD taking up the space on the DS between the windshield washer reservoir and the ABS module where most companies make their brackets - OR-Fab, MC, etc. I'm not a fan of the kits that just rotate the can 90-deg and move it back a few inches along the frame rail -Rock Hard, Bulldog. The Teraflex one seems like it would work but not sure if it would work with the "big brake kit" larger brake booster and master cylinder. Anyone cram it all in there? Thanks.

I used the Evo one. It pushes it back and puts it directly below the sway bar. Not sure if that is included in the ones you don't like though. Is what it is.

Yeah, not a fan of keeping it between the frame rails and wanted to move it up into engine bay - although I've read it's noisy. I contacted Teraflex and they responded saying theirs should work fine with the bigger booster/master cylinder. So I'll roll the dice and get one and see if it does indeed fit. Thanks

It is noisy in the engine bay and drives me up the wall. I don’t see a better place for it though. Eventually I’ll wrap it with sound deadening and hopefully that calms down the noise.

It's a little noisy in the engine bay but I only really hear it kick on when I'm doing a three point turn or something that requires a lot of intermittent braking... like repositioning to park or something. Other than that, I never notice it.

Wait mid-post edit I went outside and I found it. It's on the Metalcloak SPOD bracket, it hangs underneath:
If you do the google for Metalcloak SPOD mount and vac relocation you'll find it, it's available. I'd link you but I can't keep everyone's rules straight on that stuff so better safe than sorry.

I did see the MC sPOD mount but since I don't have a "real" sPOD - I've got the Apollointech - I was concerned it wouldn't work or fit would be wonky.
I went with the TeraFlex one and it fit fine with the swapped in "big" brake booster and master cylinder. Completely satisfied with it but the biggest issue is relocating the horn that sits back there. I imagine most people just toss it, but it took me as long if not longer to relocate that than install the relocated vacuum can. Noise not that bad either.
