re: brake booster unavailable ,what !! help
I would have guessed that it would be included with the new booster. Since it's not, I suppose you're going to have to hit the boneyards and find one to swipe.
Is this the part you need...the one on the very end of this booster rod?

re: brake booster unavailable ,what !! help
That's a heck of a core charge. NAPA wanted around $100 for the booster and $35 for the core.
But if you add the two together and compare, they're about the same, hmmm...

In case anyone is confused on how I worded the above:
I gave them up front $140.00 but after I brought the old one back they gave me $70.00 back so all in all it cost me only $70.00 Bucks
