Glad to see them available. Though, the rear half shouldn't have ribs around the perimeter.

Figures, the spare that I have been holding onto and paid top dollar for probably just dropped in value by half of what I paid!

OEM Bendix boosters were smooth around the base, not stepped like the repro units.
Agreed,...but not a bad looking repro though, time will tell how the fit/function is amongst buyers,...Wayne (RAMMAN) from Fort Wayne Texas has also introduced a line of Bendix boosters if anybody is looking?
Here's the HEMI and the B body Bendix for comparison to the above post

Wait, so Wayne (Ramman) is selling / making the ones that he makes with the step on the back part? I thought he was only rebuilding them and making specific parts, not the whole thing?

The Bendix is what will clear the valve covers/hood up on the bracket, Midland/Ross has a bigger diameter .

The Midland-Ross booster is a single diaphragm booster meant for drum brakes. The Bendix booster is a dual diaphragm booster meant for the disc brake master cyl. Granted, the Bendix is a smaller diameter than the Midland-Ross so that could be why it has to have a dual diaphragm.

I recently parted a nice clean all original 1969 Sat wagon that had 4 wheel drum brakes, and a dual diaphram Bendix booster....

Dayclona is right. I forgot about the wagon drum brake application. I wonder if it gives more stopping force or less pedal effort for stopping force due to the dual diaphragms?

Granted, I havent driven a car like mine with the midland ross booster, but my 69 charger that has the bendix disc brakes if you hit the pedal too hard, you'll end up going through the windshield! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my brakes! Wish the ones in my 07 F150 were this good!

I've run the Midlands and Bendix boosters on wedge and HEMI cars with "big" (large dur.) cams, really doesn't matter as to the booster used, ...vacumm supply is key, generally 10" of vac minimum is fine for a manual car, as the engine recovers vacumm for the booster when you clutch to engage the brakes at low speed operation, the same engine set up with an automatic generally cannot substain repeated braking at low speed operation, which usually requires the need for a reserve canister in the system, or in worst cases, a vacumm pump
