7" brake booster repair and restoration

Recommended Posts


I was told at a car show that there was not anything brake related this guy could not rebuild.

Boosters too. I think you would actually have to send yours in to see if he could do a Datsun.

I only have my one booster so I cannot be without it for now.

Charles, We no longer re-build vacuum units, BUT you can call these 2 companies & see if they can.

I heard back from Harmon:
 
Yes, we can as long as the can is a twist & lock (Bendix Type)
We can not rebuild the booster with the band around the can 
$135.95 + Shipping
 
Thank you,
Harmon Classic Brakes

 

This is also who I ordered the Mustang booster kit from. The kit was $75 shipped, but could probably be cheaper for our boostes as we need fewer parts. I will have to see if he would cobble a kit together and post them on Ebay. For the extra $60 he would do it all plus shipping, which is not insignificant depending on where you live.

Charles,

I had a 73 rebuilt here in Indiana. I’ll do a little researching to see if I can find the receipt. I doubt I have it , but maybe can search and remember the name. He claimed that he could cross reference Bendix numbers. It did work great when I got it back

I think it would be great to locate some builders all across the country. That way people can use the one close to them or a cheaper builder if the freight can be offset.

BTW: When is that surgery?
