Abstract
A booster assembly includes a booster provided at an engine room partitioned from a passenger compartment by a partition plate, a master cylinder disposed outwardly of a front side of the front cell, and fastening members to simultaneously mount the booster and master cylinder to the vehicle. Each fastening member includes a tube extending through the booster and having a front portion extending through a flange of the master cylinder, nuts fastened to respective front portions of the tubes, to fasten the master cylinder to the booster, through-bolts extending through respective tubes and the partition plate, to be mounted to the front portions of respective tubes, and a non-circular coupler formed at a rear portion of each tube, to prevent the tube from rotating when the corresponding nut is fastened to the tube. The rear cell is provided with a hole having a shape mating with the non-circular coupler.
