Brake Booster Options

[azblackhemi]

I need a brake booster for my 69 Monaco but apparently there are none available at any parts store to buy off the shelf. What other options do I have? According to Booster Dewey's website to rebuild mine is $350-$400 plus shipping. Too much for me. We have a local place but last one I brought to them they said they can't get parts to rebuild them. Are there any aftermarket or any other applications that will work? Picture is the one i need.

That is a single diaphragm Bendix booster and unless you can find a good salvage yard unit, it will need to be rebuit. This booster was used interchangeably with the Midland-Ross booster and was a common replacement when the Midland unit expired.

That’s where I’m sending mine. Good reviews, and only $195 plus shipping. I too have that same Bendix 9” single diaphragm.

Edit: close name as Booster Dewy. But not his site. That’s Booster Dewey’s or whoever is running it now, site.

I had my booster rebuilt by them and have had no issues thus far.

Do you mind sharing the price?

For my C body, the quoted price is $195 plus return shipping. Not sure what @aaron72 paid, but you’ll have a range if/when he replies. I’m sending mine out tomorrow.

 

[live4theking]

That's not a bad price at all. I think my price was $350 from Dewey a few years ago.

 

[azblackhemi]

Thanks for the responces. I'm calling my local guy in the morning to see if he can do it, if not It'll be the power brake exchange.

Mine was $213 total as I'm about 60 miles from them and my local parts shop did the drive down and back as they get multiples done at the same time.

Pirate Jack is vending a brand new Bendix knockoff for $265, meant for B bodies, so it might not deliver enough for a C anyway. The Bendix MC clone I got from them still serves very well though.
