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 :mellow:

Jim.

have you tried buying a new diaphram ?

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 :)

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
