Default Brake booster rebuilder/replater recommendations
Hi Folks,

Just checking to see who does good brake booster rebuilds. I need to rebuild the one from my 68 GTO project. It's in good shape, works great, but needs the body plated.

I've found a few places on line, but am looking for recommendations based on personal experience.

Thank you.

Phil Woj

Forgot about Mike Gibbons. Have always heard good things about him and his predecessor.

I just sent the original MC and Booster off my Z/28 to White Plains. Guessing I left some money on the table there. Story of my life. Have always been satisfied with them, but they are expensive.

My 49 Studebaker dump truck has "stepped" wheel cylinders in the front brakes. Mine were pitted. New ones are not available from any source. I sent the old ones to WP to be sleeved a few years ago. Problem solved.
