VH40 brake booster. Has anyone rebuilt one?

(1/2) > >>

coops:
I have a PBR VH40 remote booster on my 69 mustang that has failed an I was wondering if anyone has rebuilt one and is it rebuildable in the shed or is it something better left to professionals. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers Coops

Clubman7:
There are new replacements that are knock off versions of the PBR unit on Ebay going real cheap, under $100, or rebuild kits if you want one.
Genuine PBR is about $500.
See what suits you.

coops:
The $100 units on eBay are the VH44 model units that are for four wheel drum brakes. My Mustang has disc/drums so I'm not sure if it will work. There's not much in the kit so I'm thinking of rebuilding the original PBR VH40 unit that I have. I'm wondering if they are hard to rebuild.

Dwayne:
Not sure about how hard they are to rebuild yourself, but know these guys here in SA have a very good reputation for doing it:
