My '67 Barracuda which I have owned for 42 years finally got dug back out of the barn. After a whole bunch of part replacing, I am now down to factory power brakes that appear to have lost the booster. I would guess after all these years internals are shot. I think this is the 7-1/2" variant and it has the 4- bolt pattern on both ends. Does anyone make these for replacement? Mine is not pretty anymore as the Cad is all worn off. I have searched lots of places and nothing so far. Master cylinder is new and I would rather stay with a factory style if possible. Anyone know?

I was told that this is a good place to have them restored/rebuilt, but I have not used them personally.

Thanks for their link. Looking at their products, I think I might just replace everything and go to discs! When they say they are "gold plated" it appears to be real gold they are using.

$250 for a rebuild and $75 for plating isn't the end of the world. One of my buds had them rebuild and replate the booster from his '70 Dart and it was a fabulous job.

LOL...yea I get it. Its a car that am am TRYING to get rid of....I dug it out and I think I have spent about $2500 (so far) with all of the stuff I have had to replace after all these years. I literally gave the car to my daughter, but seem to just keep dumping money into it....Tires...brakes...all hoses....belts....power steering gear....alternator.....starter.....exhaust.....you get the idea....It just does not seem to stop... Dad bought a new Hellcat to avoid working on cars....but this thing is the gift that keep giving...LOL

I just got my booster back from the place given above. . They did a great job and was a quick turn around.

If you want to adopt me as your son, I'll take the Barracuda off your hands. grin
