Brake Booster Sizing?
« on: March 11, 2013 - 08:34:25 PM »
Can someone tell me how brake boosters are measured? I assume the stated measurement pertains to the housing diameter (for instance: an 8" dual diaphragm booster would be 8" diameter). Is that measurement: the diameter of the back or front housing, or is it the diameter of the where the two halves join (which technically would be the largest diameter)? Thanks.
