Abstract
A mounting structure for a clutch booster assembly to be arranged adjacent to and in front of a vacuum brake booster assembly fixed to a forward fire-wall structure of a vehicle body. A bracket member of a U-shaped cross-section fixed to the fire-wall structure opens toward one side of the brake booster assembly and supports the clutch booster assembly on its front end. A flexible tubular cover member has a front end secured to the front end of the bracket member to hermetically enclose a rear air suction opening of the clutch booster assembly and a rear end coupled within an opening of the fire-wall structure, and a flexible tubular sealing boot has a front end secured to the rear end of the cover member and a rear end secured to an operation rod of the clutch booster assembly. The sealing boot is provided with an annular lip in engagement with the front face of the fire-wall structure and at its rear end with a vent hole.
