Replace brake booster for 280sl
« on: February 29, 2024, 07:17:19 »
Hello, I'm looking for a used power brake for a 280sl? Should I buy a used one or should I buy a new one? Where should I buy used?

Please give me your experience.

Buds Benz had some refurbished ones advertised this week. (Budsbenz.com) I would start there.

These are not that easy to find and used ones are usually require a rebuild as well. If you still have yours, you may want to consider having yours rebuild.

White Post (https://whitepost.com) has had an excellent reputation as brake rebuilders for decades.  They do much more now, but get their price for rebuilding your booster (including shipping back & forth) and see how that compares to buying one.

Oh, and I see this is your first post.  Welcome to the Group!  If you like, please introduce yourself and your Pagoda here:  https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=529.1550
