1967 Power Brake Booster 5867

[Timothy B.]

Can anyone tell me how the reproduction (100% correct) power brake boosters judge compared to the original units. I assume all the vendors get them from Miami Fl., correct?

TIA, Tim

Remember that the 67 is a one year only model due to the change in master cylinders. I have an original on my car that was restored and I would not be able to tell you of any difference.

Thanks Keith,

I have the original M/C but I am concerned about differences in the 5867 reproduction boosters compared to originals. I get the feeling some restorers just purchase repro # correct boosters and sell the originals because of rust, $$ to overhaul etc.

I wanted to bring this back to the top and see if anyone can offer further details about these reproduction boosters vs. original boosters.

Thanks again, Tim
