Newport 1967 brake problem...

[surfmaxx]

I send an email to Leeds Brakes last week. No answer still now.
Today i disassembled booster and pedal.
First I cut the screw from the bracket for the brake light switch. It pressed against the rubber bellows of the booster from behind. The next few days I will mount the pedal a bit higher so that the bolt fits better and everything is easier to move.

I called Leeds - ordered everything over the phone. although...had I done some more research I probably would have gone with Craig (MobileParts)

The vacuum hose to the booster may become contaminated and acting as a 0ne way valve also. Be sure to replace it with a hose designed for vacuum and not fuel or water.

So, i reassembled the car. The pedal works much easier, the bolt of the booster fits perfect, but the problem is not solved. I think i'll need a new booster.

Does anybody have an idea where to get an old one, which i can rebuild in US and then send to germany.

Rebuilding my own one is no solution. I dont want to pay shipping two times and wait the whole summer. The car drives in this condition.....

Power Brake Booster Exchange | Providing Parts for Classic Cars He has cores you can buy and if you call him, you could probably ship yours back to him later for a small refund.

Try Murray Park. Www.cbodies.com
He may have some that work or he may have some in unknown condition that he could send to booster Dewey for you.

I'm starting to think that also Leeds won't help my either per email. But my English is unfortunatly not good enough for the phone. It's no longer fun.

He is a busy man. He will reply if you send a Facebook message. It might take a few days.

You will probably have nothing but trouble with the above remanufactured units. That company is noted for very poor quality and they have a bad habit of shipping incorrect boosters and boosters that do not work properly.
