FunkytownZ Posted May 5, 2017 Share #181 Posted May 5, 2017 I replaced the brake booster today. I discovered a little over a week ago that it had gone south on me. It's so nice to have power assisted brakes again.Where did you get your brake booster?Mine needs replacing Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted May 5, 2017 Share #183 Posted May 5, 2017 For a rebuilt auto parts one I used rockauto.com or amazon.com, can't remember which was the lower priced. I do remember having to send a core back though. After that it was right at $100 for the smaller 240 one. You'll need to paint it, it's raw steel out of the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a random one, I'll go with RockAuto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLPurcell Posted May 5, 2017 Share #187 Posted May 5, 2017 I unrestored my valve cover! My valve cover was over restored. I polished it again and then blasted it with walnut shells. That gave it a nice original casting look without that over restored look. I like the results. Of course then I applied the P2 sticker to the front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLPurcell Posted May 5, 2017 Share #192 Posted May 5, 2017 I had a brake booster rebuilt for my FJ40 rebuild. I sent it out after I had restored the casing. I am trying to remember where I sent it he only rebuilds boosters. He had the proper rebuild parts and I believe that he charged less than $150. including parts.
