They are being reproduced now. I have not heard any feedback yet on fit/quality etc.
Seller has different prices on his site and his ebay listing.

Thanks; exactly what I was looking for. I may be the guinea pig on this one.

....a local shop claims they can rebuild mine, so I'm going to talk to them first.

Thanks again.

Dave

As stated you will have to enlarge the plate holes, but I have used the repo & it works perfectly!

Thank you Paul.

I also handle the MBM repro Bendix boosters.

The '70 and earlier B-body unit will interchange with OEM under-dash linkage, but you must enlarge the hole in the stock firewall stiffening plate.

The E-body/'71-up B-body version was never available from the factory. It has a different bolt pattern on the back and a longer input rod. It won't interchange with OEM under-dash linkage, so you must buy the MBM linkage.

I'm also working on B and E body "Hemi" (under-hood) linkage for this booster.

Good to know that you carry the stuff (MBM's website only lists Pirate Jack). If I need one, I'll definitely get it from you.

OK, so what Pirate Jack's told me was that they would need to sell me the Booster Conversion Kit BCK8536-1 (for '66 - '69 cars)and then delete the master cylinder (which is just as well because it appears to be a Hemi style cylinder with the line connections on the fender side). The guy didn't know if the bellcrank linkage was the same or different between the -1 and -2 kits.

....going back to my notes when I put the car together a few years ago, Mike G. (Dayclona) gave me a bunch of measurements and one of his comments was "...IIRC the 68/69 (linkage) is the same, and the 70 is slightly different in pivot locations/angles/geometry, hence the different bellcranks..."

I ended up having to space the booster away from the firewall plate to get enough clearance to hook up the linkage to the pedal without having the brakes partially depressed while the pedal is in the fully up position so I strongly suspect that something is wrong. The pedal assy is PROBABLY original, but who knows for sure.

...my god what a PITA! I've probably taken the linkage on and off a dozen times now!

Sooo; is the hole size difference the reason these kits come with a new firewall plate?

not sure exactly what you mean when you say the E body and '71 and up B body "was never available from the factory"

I suppose the safest thing to do to make sure everything works is to buy the entire BCK8536-1 kit c/w firewall plate, linkage kit, booster and master cylinder....I wonder if the correct master is available?

Thanks

Dave
