Brake vacuum booster
« on: February 02, 2016, 07:32:21 PM »
Anyone have an original vacuum booster in good enough shape to be restored?  Mine is a bit too pitted on it's face.

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck. I have plenty of 68-72 brake boosters in various conditions... however, I've never compared and I think I read somewhere the 65-66-67 are smaller dia than the 68-72 style???  Yes?  No?

The '65s used a 9" diameter booster.
