Guest slacker1965 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Anyone know where to find a brake booster for a 64 Riv ?? Or a booster from another year and/or model that would fit without modification to the firewall ??I used a cheapo offshore universal ebay unit on my 65 driver that I converted to a dual m/c setup. no firewall changes, but I did have to add to the rod that goes between the booster & m/c...no big deal if you have access to a welder. my oe rod had a adjustable tip to get the airgap right...no reman units were avail at the parts houses at the time& I didn't want to step up to Dewey's rebuild(budget issues)good luckk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devildog93 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I bought a brake booster last year, though i can't remember who from. I may have purchased it from OPGI while i was just trying to get it roadworthy.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I bought mine at O'Riellys last year. Easy to change once you get it off the brake pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devildog93 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Yea, i think i got mine at o'reilly's as well now that i think about it. I had redone the brake lines, all the brake pads/shoes, rebuilt the wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and i was still without brakes. So, that being the only thing i had not replaced i went ahead and did that as well. I think the diaphram was in about the same shape as any other rubber on the car, which means shot to hell. If it was rubber or an electrical connector it was crap on my car and needed to be replaced. The more i think about it, probably need to gut all the wiring and rewire it as well while i've got it mostly blown apart.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
