I think I got hosed by a fabo member?

Well......Im sorry to say that I think I may have been boned.

I took the booster out of the box and upon closer inspection noticed the extent of the rust.

I was told it was last on a vehicle in 2008 and was in working order but to be honest it does not look like it has been on a vehicle or used in 15 years.

The master cylinder is full of a good 1/8th to 1/4" of rust....which normally would not be a problem because I would just swap to a new master cylinder BUT the bolts that are inside the brake booster that the master cylinder mounts to are so rusty that there are no longer any threads and the heads of the nuts have rounded from being so corroded .....also when I flipped the booster upside down.....a bunch of brown water poured out of the vacume port on the booster.

I am going to contact the guy I bought this from and hope that he makes it right and is willing to refund my money and I will send the booster back to him.

Thats $50.00 I can not afford to waste on something I can not use.
