Hi all, unfortunately the Boss had an issue with the brake booster and therefore did not pass inspection today. I need to find a good original style brake booster for a 70 so please let me know if you have one available as I need one asap.
Thanks
Mark

Hi rapid
Remember the 69 booster is different than a 70
Cheers
Barry

The booster is now out and it is confirmed that the bakelite is cracked so I either need the bakelite part (which I don't know if it is available) or more likely a new booster now. So still looking so the car can be finished.
-
Still no luck, the search continues
-
If a local search does not bring success, you could try Booster Dewey in the US - http://www.boosterdeweyexchange.com/ (http://www.boosterdeweyexchange.com/)

Thanks Gallop, that looks like a good source. A new unit has been ordered by Image Classic Cars and is on its way from the US. Hope to have it soon.

lets hope it gets here quick Dale

I see you have one on order but if you want the old one repaired try http://www.hydroboost.com.au/index.htm (http://www.hydroboost.com.au/index.htm)
Most likely they have the parts.
I have not had work done there myself, just going on 3rd hand info.
-
Thanks jade I will contact them as I will definitely look at getting it repaired. Thanks for the link.

Might be worth while following up on this one to see where he got it rebuilt.

Thanks moe

Well some good news, the new booster has arrived in Australia according to the tracking info

New brake booster delivered today

Brake booster now fitted and the Boss is back at Image Classic Cars
-
Another set back. Car went into the electricians to fix an electrical gremlin, now fixed. However, seems like the booster push rod is pushing against the brake switch causing the brake lights to stay on. Jeremy will look at it tomorrow and hopefully the push rod can be adjusted.
-
Thanks moe

Hi mwizz, I was wondering if you knew the part # of the new booster....I'm in the exact same spot, booster dead and no parts available:( I have a part# from NPD but want to make sure it right before shipping. old one is the same as yours, Bendix 6945.
thanks
Denton

OK - hydro boost just rebuilt my booster.
Mine was broken around the bakeite (if you have the piece that's missing, they can repair it)
BUT
As Barry said, the '69 and '70 boosters are different, and it's VERY odd for the bakelite to break UNLESS a '69 booster has been installed into a '70 car (or a '70 car with a '69 pedal).
The correct booster for a '69 has a shaft that looks like this -concentrate on the shaft that attaches to the pedal:

Whereas a '70 booster has a shaft that looks like this:

you don't want to bolt it all together and break the new one on the first brake application, do you...
-
Thanks Jiffy, mine is definitely a 70 based on your pics. I havn't had it repaired as yet as I got the new one fitted but will get it repaired some time and have it as a spare.

I will have a look and see if there is anything on it. I didn't actually order it so not sure what the part number was.
-
Sorry Denton, there are no markings I can see on the new one and I have checked my paperwork and I don't have the actual order with a part number.

Can you explain the Bakelite? I have a '70 with a 69 pedal and booster and have booster issues, where it is like a switch, on or off. It has a 6945 bendix booster and the 69 5" pedal fitted.
You may be able to save me some trouble

If you need to order parts contact Harmon, they carry rebuild kits (for Midlands I am sure, I did mine...) and note...
"We also stock all Bendix component parts for any booster...................All parts are available individually !!"

I was told that you can't get a replacement for the bakelite part but from the pics on that site it appears that they have what appears to be the bakelite bits
-
The Bakelite is under the rubber boot that covers the pedal rod. When you apply brakes, if the Bakelite is broken then vacuum escapes and the booster ceases working - doesn't sound like your problem. You may be able to pull the rubber boot back with the booster installed in the car and see if the Bakelite is cracked and - if uncracked - this will tell you to look somewhere else for the problem.
