After 30 years I think the time has come to replace my brake booster. Any good suggestions where to buy a new one and what is a good brand?

Related question, does the 4th gen booster drop right in or is there some fiddling involved? I already have a 4th gen master cylinder.

Nevermind about the 4th gen booster. The rod is longer and I don't want a higher pedal.

All I see for 3rd gen boosters are reman. Any new parts out there?

Rebuild yours? It's not really that hard.

I've read somewhere that people are using S10 brake boosters, but i'm not sure what all is involved in that swap. I was about to start doing searches for them since the rest of my brake system has been replaced. From what I remember, and don't quote me on this, it's supposed to be a great upgrade and sounded like a direct bolt in. I haven't found exact details on that yet though.

I didn't know it was a do-it-yourself job. That sounds more my style!

What brand parts do you recommend?

Heck, where do you even get parts at all? I can't find any rebuild kits for our cars.

I have done older ones back in the day but really haven't done a 3rdgen one even though they are the same design.
Back then you just went to dealer or parts store and grabbed the parts. Even though I don't foresee any failures, I May start looking around for suppliers.

I know they are out there, and I know your pain. I have looked for the diaphragm too, Maybe email the guy at brake boosters dot com if he can help you out? You'll also need to make a tool to twist the halves apart, I have seen it with a piece of flat stock with holes drilled in it and a long bar welded to that.

​​​Do you remember what year range they were using?

I never did find a rebuild kit for the more modern dual diaphragm boosters. Just the old antique cars with older style boosters.
