Yes he does, but he will only sell it as a complete package. I am also trying to source parts individually in case it becomes unavailable before I can get that package.
I'm not quite sure then what you mean by "complete assembly" - when you asked about a power brake pedal assembly, I assumed you meant the pedal, pedal pad, pedal edge trim if so equipped, pedal arm and pivot/bracketry and plate that bolt to the firewall.
Can you clarify exactly what you need then?

Might be pricey on shipping for you but check out Desert Valley Auto Parts www.dvap.com. I just picked up a set of loaded spindles and a Bendix booster last week. They have several Imperials with discs and a 68 Chrysler with discs in the Black Canyon City yard. Search the website and call with the car stock number.

What I want to do is swap my manual pedal for a power one. And Nigel won't sell just the pedal to me, he would rather sell that, the booster, the spindles, calipers, brackets, pads, rotors, dust shields, lines, etc. as a complete package. Which is convenient, don't get me wrong, but pretty pricey. My budget at the moment won't allow for such a large purchase. So I am back to piecing the parts together as funds allow. If things change, I'll pony up for that kit. But having extra parts never hurts, right?
OK, I understand. What's he asking for the whole disc package?

Last we spoke, price was a bit vague, around $1600, and that was before he mentioned he forgot to include a few other parts. Also, that kit was with a booster meant for an A body, which he says will work if I'm not worried about looking correct. I take him at his word. What do you think?
As long as the majority of the system is C body disc brake parts, I think that's a good price. You can keep your eyes open for a correct booster and replace that some time else. The A body booster idea is intriguing - I imagine there are some who might say that it won't be strong enough (I would be one of them, but I have no evidence to corroborate that opinion), but in general, $1600 CDN is a good price all in, as you'll pay about that for an aftermarket system that doesn't include the brake pedal assembly, after exchange and shipping and yadda yadda.
Nigel is a good guy. I would trust him. In your case, I'd be inclined to pony up for the system, and keep looking for a correct booster and have that rebuilt.

I hear good things. I just need to iron down a price before I make the drive. He tells me he has sold several of those A body boosters as an alternative to the Bendix units, as due to supply they are also a more affordable alternative that fits the confines of the earlier cars like ours. If it works well, I'll keep it.
