I think it would be great if Steve would make a mold of it. I don't know if he would be willing to reproduce it but the mold would be a good start. @nix240z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted May 20, 2018 Share #7 Posted May 20, 2018 My rebuilt booster came with a brand new rubber diaphragm, so it's clear that there are already people who make that part. The problem is availability to the commoner not in the brake rebuilding business. I think it would be a lot easier to cultivate a relationship with someone who already makes this part than to pull a mold off an existing part. Someone here on the forum must know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy's cousin in that business who would like to make a few extra bucks selling parts instead of complete units. And don't forget that the poppet valve and seal that rides on it are an issue as well. That's what I think is wrong with mine. Works most of the time, but occasionally still sticks. (Thankfully it has only happened on the first brake push of the day and I'm still in the driveway.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Some details @kats may like: It is interesting that both Tokico and Hitachi made some of the rubber parts. Hitachi part numbers seem to start with "222-" The parts were purchased in 1974. The diaphragm below is 6" diameter. 44100-E4127 Kit-A 44100-E4127 (Kit-A) 44112-30001 Rear 7/8 Wheel Cylinder Seal 44124-E0210 Dust Cover 41129-30001 Bleeder Cap 44144-E4110 Dust Cover 222-2110011 6" Hitachi Brake Booster Diaphragm 222-24100 6" Hitachi Brake Booster Front Seal Edited May 21, 2018 by 240260280 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted May 22, 2018 Share #12 Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Cool pics! Never heard of the Lombardi OTAS. Thanks for that. Looks a lot like the Lotus Europa minus the Frenched headlights.http://mycarquest.com/2012/07/otaslombardi-grand-prix-cars-in-pennsylvania.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombardi_Grand_Prixhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Europa#Series_1 Edited May 22, 2018 by Captain Obvious Added a link for the Europa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
