Peter, where did you get the boosters from and what type are they? Mine need replacing or rebuilding.

Default boosters

Kevin i sent my originals to HYDROBOOST. He checked them out and said they would be expensive to repair, parts hard to get. He supplied 2 VH 40 AL boosters and filter covers. He comes with my high recommendation. Hes based at Echuca and specializes in power boosters for old cars 0354800886.

Thanks Peter. Last time I spoke to the guy at Hydroboost he was too busy and referred me to a mob in SA. That was perhaps a year ago and I never got around to doing anything about it. However the approx price he quoted seemed quite high so I was thinking simply replacing them with a modern unit might be a better option. But if I'm going to buy new ones I would rather source them locally in Melbourne.

What do you think of the ones you bought? Did you have to change the fittings on your brake pipes?
