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

Wayne is selling the same boosters. I also sold a couple lately.

The mounting studs are metric and you must enlarge the hole in the original firewall stiffening plate a tad. Everything else looks pretty good.

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?

That's the way I roll, too. Buy 'em high, sell 'em low.
I knew something didn't look quite right. I went through every booster in NAPA's warehouse to find the correct one, and they ended up rebuilding my original for me.
Hard to find.

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

Isn't the Bendix a dual diaphragm to make up for the small size?

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....
