Repop Bendix Booster

[vdk2010]

Dr. Diff lists the Booster just for A, B & E-Body cars. Is it any different from the C-Body Booster or can I use this in my 69 Imperial?

Bendix Style Dual Diaphragm Booster for Mopars

Not the same.

The four studs that mount the booster to the firewall are slightly closer to the center of the booster on the A,B,E version, and the rod that connects to the pedal is 3/4" shorter.

You could use the repop booster, but you would need to slot the holes in your firewall and extend the rod on the booster.

I'm currently in the process of installing one in a friend's Challenger, so you may want to hold off buying anything until I find out if the repops work properly.

Also the booster for the "A, B, and E" bodies are 8 inch, while "C" bodies are 9 inch.

Do you have your original booster? You could have that rebuilt.

I could change the bolt pattern, but lengthen the booster rod is not very practically, I guess.
And if its 1" smaller, this option is out anyway. There was a reason for it to be bigger from the factory.

I have my original one any thought about sending it to Booster Dewey, but shipping from Germany is expensive and difficult. I will give him a call I guess and see what he can offer me.

Thanks for all the Answers!

Booster Dewey is your best bet.

I'd hate to see you not able to stop in time.
That's my 2 cents.

If it were me and it is winter I would have it rebuilt rather than rat tail filing another in. Put in what was required and you have it. Just my opinion.

this thread is well outside my area of expertise, but I had mine ('67 Imp) rebuilt and never looked back...…. rebuilding the original, wherever possible, nearly always works out better...…

I'm not tied to seasons ;)

Changing the bolt pattern now wouldn't be a problem if it would solve the booster supply issues for the future, but if there are other things different as well, that's not an option.

Why worry about cost at this point? You are definitely pregnant and you need to have the baby!

Well it looks like your car will be down for awhile and you won't be driving her anytime soon. File away if you want and make something else work but we are just giving you our opinions. Good luck.

I have to worry about costs more than anybody else because **** is summing up quickly ;)

I will see what Dewey will say.
