Title: Brake booster availability
Post by: neelyrc on February 01, 2021, 22:43:38
The latest newsletter from the Classic center indicates that the brake booster for our cars is available.  Also 15” full disc hubcaps:

I looked at that too. Will not work for the 230's though. I think the later ones (280's) are elative easy available anyway.

Cardone rebuilds the ATE boosters for $115.  Turn around time is about two weeks.

Thank you.
I bought the master brake cylinder from them . But I need a power booster for a 230. I believe it’s different.

If anyone ships a booster be very careful to pack it so the plastic nose is well protected.  They are not available anymore so if it gets broken your booster cannot be rebuilt.

That's exactly what happened to me. I thought I packed it well but I broke during shipping.

Did you use polyamide (nylon) filament?
