Datsun 240k Brake Booster Needed

[72GT]

Hi all,

I'm in need of a replacement brake booster for my 1975 240K (C110). Any experiences with suitable bolt on replacements? Is the C210 unit an option? I've had one dud 240K unit already from a wreckers, seemed OK but once in place ....same syptoms! touch the pedal and air can be heard being drawn in (this is inside the car) and the idle goes way off, just like it has a vacuum leak! (funny that )

So, if you have a lead on a good booster or a suitable replacement please speak up

Jim.

Thanks Noddle. I've had no luck yet with a kit, and $250-$350 for recoeing mine is a bit rich for me!

Can you get a pic up?

i have a reco 15/16 i'll be useing (its on the way)

but i have 2 leaking RMR30 ones, might be able to piece them together to make a non-leaking one. im hopefully keeping one as spare, but will let you know what happens.

or

just get the leak fixed at a brake shop, not a full rebuild!

Thanks Mag86. You sure you're not talking about master cylinders? I'm in need of the vacuum booster (big round black bugger!) unit that the master cylinder attaches to.

To fix the vacuum leak in the booster means opening it up....not too hard if you have the tools. Once open you might as well replace all rubber bits anyway! If I get a chance I'll post a pic or two of the offending unit

OH....

i mis-read!

i will have a spare booster from my R30 skyline available in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

i not sure but it may fit??

Interested?

(oh & SW Motorsport sell new master cyl for 240k for only $109)
