Abstract
A first and second tie rods locating between a front shell and a rear shell of a brake booster through which a master cylinder is connected to a support member. Each of the first and second tie rods have a head that engages the rear shell and a first shaft that extends from the head in a first direction along a first axis through the front shell and the flange and a second shaft that extends from the head in a second direction offset from the first shaft along a second axis through the rear shell and the support member. Fasteners are secured to the first, second, third and fourth shafts such that the front shell and rear shell are compressed between the flange and support member and forces are transmitted into the support member without creating a moment that would change the axial alignment of the first and third shafts.
