 Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 5:16 pm Post subject: Seeking Brake Servo Parts |
 |
|
I'm looking for brake servo parts for my 73 bus. Specially, the parts encapsulated with the rubber boot near the connecting rod. (As seen in the photo from Bentley.)
From the other two photos, you can see that I'm missing some or all of these parts. The servo is in good working order but I would like to have it in complete working condition as designed.
I imagine the first place to look is to find these parts from an used Servo core. OR, I wonder if modern manufactures may have these parts as well. Any leads on where I may find these parts is much appreciated.
Thank You,
Jeff

Buy a used booster, none of that is available new.

Nobody has come up with a replacement yet? No elegant hacks on the rubber boot? With the collection of geniuses on this site, I'm surprised it wasn't done years ago! Anybody know where the rebuilders get their parts?
How about the felt filter and damping ring. I assume what Bentley calls the "sealing ring" is an o-ring? Anybody know the size?

I tried germansupply.com. That's the only one I could find that specifically claimed a factory core rebuild. Do you have other recommendations?: http://www.germansupply.com/home/customer/product.php?productid=17880
Anyone know anything about this one; I called Jbugs and was told it's "Airtec" brand: https://www.jbugs.com/product/211611905.html

I’m using the Airtec. All I know is my right hip doesn’t hurt all the time now. Just kidding. Is it perfect or near as good as the brakes in my 2016 Chevy? No, but it’s way better than having to use what Skid called the “Gorilla leg” or some such to stop the bus.

So may I ask where you got it from?
