I am restoring a 1988 cabriolet and am wanting to completely rebuild the brake system with all new stuff.

The problem I am having is finding a brake booster. I can find one for the earlier rabbit convertible, same body style, but nothing for the 88.

Will the earlier one work?

Thank you
Robert

Hum... what does it have now, 171 612 107, 155 612 107?

If so, you can fit the 191 612 107 or 357 612 107 that were in use on the Golf II and Passat.
Do you really need new? You can try reclaim a used one harvesting on the Golf II (191 612 107) or on the Passat (357 612 107). But, if it ain't broke, don't fix it Tony! Laughing

I will need to check what I pulled off of it but there a lot of different versions with a letter suffix so it gets very confusing
