Does anyone know where I can get my power brake booster rebuilt?
Thank you in advance

Thank you will check this outPower Brake Booster Exchange, AKA Booster Dewey. Used to be in Portland OR, but they've moved to Lynnwood WA. Never used them personally, but read good things.
I would if I could find a source for the innards (know one?), especially the rubber diaphragm which can harden and crack from gas fumes. Happened to one of mine even though I added a carbon filter in the vacuum source hose. The hardened part was right at the vacuum port. Might have degraded before I added the filter. Midland-Ross boosters are easier to take apart (V-band) than Bendix (crimp collar). I tried to fix one by cutting neoprene rubber for the diaphragm (mostly sheet-metal, sheet rubber just at the periphery), but the rubber cracked. I had 2 M-R boosters that looked similar but varied in the diameter of the inlet piston and matching hole in the base.You can do it yourself.
Buy the kit and seperate the two halvs and I stall the parts.
The booster is a simple device.
