Team,

Looking for a good booster to replace the roached out one in MN Gold convert. I beleive these were the Bendix brand....but cant seem to find a part number on the sucker. I'll add some pics, but I'm sure there were a few types from that year....

I have used Booster Dewey and recommend them as well.

Also, my parts catalog lists the following p/n's for 67 brake boosters...
Drum Brake Midland Ross or Bendix 2808 604
Bendix w/disc brakes 2881 548

Here's what I found...
He has a FB page...https://www.facebook.com/pg/BoosterDewey that led me to his website... http://boosterdeweyexchange.com/

I have power discs on my 67 Satellite and he has rebuilt the booster twice. The original lasted almost 25 years and his first rebuild lasted another 25 yrs. I was thrilled to see he was still around a few years ago when it needed to be rebuilt the second time.

The booster pictured appears to be a Bendix single diaphragm unit, that is generally used on drum brake installations. The Bendix tandem diaphragm booster is usually used on HP engines with front disc/rear drum set ups. Midland Ross boosters have an external clamp band holding the halfs together and are used on drum/drum installations. A body cars use smaller diameter units.
I've used both Booster Dewey and the Ram Man....both are excellent suppliers. Just my opinion of course.
