Power Brake Booster for a Hemi build - where do I find one?
« on: April 25, 2007 - 12:51:36 PM »
Hey there,

Well over the weekend, with the help of Chryco, I dropped my hemi into the challenger.  Overall things went fairly smooth, but I do have one problem.  My old brake booster does not fit, which I knew it wouldn't, but I am having trouble finding someplace that can sell me a 7 or 8 inch booster to fit in the e-body.   Closest I came was below, but bloody hell  :swear:, it is expensive.

Anyone, know of any other place I can purchase one?

cheers,
dray

I just found this site.  http://www.jimsautoparts.com/brake.htm#repro_power_brake_booster

Any feedback on reputation/quality or if it works with a hemi power brake setup?

ciao,

I had no problems dealing with Jim's 5-6 years ago, but a few members here have been complaining recently about service, and high shipping costs. The items are good from my experience. I guess you can try and hope if you don't find a better option.

Thanx for your responses everyone.  I actually found one, fairly cheap on ebay.   :cooldancing:  Check it out.

Considering I paid $499 for the exact same set up w/o the proportioning valve I'd say that's a good price.  There was a dude on 'parts that was building the bracketry and plumbing and selling thru Harms as well.
