brake booster

pola 1964 · Aug 27, 2017

Hello, I'm located in Germany. My 1962 Polara needs a new brake booster, but I can't buy one.
I think it is the Cardone 50-3547 and this is not available at any company.
I will need your help.
Thanks
Hans

How about getting the original rebuilt?

shipping is too expensive

Switch to manual brakes but being in Germany parts? Shipping to a US rebuilder, shipped things heavier to Croatia around $100 each way. Booster Dewey is one rebuilder.
Worked for Diehl Company until I retired, good employer.

I'm liking the "More Door" Polara 500 :thumbsup:

Maybe only 3,300 made in '62

I've seen the rebuild kits on ebay, maybe attempt rebuilding the booster yourself?

I have a brake booster that was on my 68 Charger. Not sure if it is the same as 62 but I had it rebuilt to the tune of $245.00 only to find that it would not be enough boost for the disc brake conversion I put on my car. It may work for your car if you have drum brakes but I'm not positive. The book I have says 1962-1974. I would sell it for $200.00 plus shipping if it would work for you. PM me for pictures if interested.

Avoid A1-Cardone parts. Low quality junk made in China. If you can get a rebuilt original, you'll be far better off.

You can buy rebuild kits, I think Booster Dewey sells them now.

thanks to everyone for the answers. I will try to use the master cylinder without booster. Yes I have to drill new holes but can work or not. We will see
