I just purchased a bendix Hemi booster in Dec. so I just went thru all this and what it took to do it.

If you can find an original Bendix brake booster with the offset bracket is the most ideal and correct looking set up. There's one on e bag right now but it's way out there at $960.00+. However, it is complete.

Look at this one. Notice the studs on the back. 3/8ths and offset. This is what you need to spot for the right one. But you also need the offset bracket set up and re inforcement plate to complete everything.

The next alternative is to get one of the reproduction take offs. Anotherwards, they don't even look factory correct but they should clear the DS valve cover corner. Look at the picture of the brake booster.

I don't know enough on these take offs so ask the seller questions first before you purchase one if you decide this route.

Also one more thing to spot a real Hemi bendix brake booster, the rod coming out has a slight curve angle at the end.

Brake booster Dewey sells complete units according to his website for 900 also.

cool.  :2thumbs:

 Did you get the Hemi Bendix? If you did, I have a question to you about the check valve. Theres a couple of different ones I need to find out more about.
