Btw, it does look the same. What happen to your original?
Its just kinda ugly. I was thinking about routing the rear brake straight to that instead going through the RABS unit.

Just saw this. My OEM master has different fittings. Not sure I want to go through that when I can just get a 2001 Booster and have it just work.

They clean up like new though...top quality stainless.

I've always wanted to route it that way..at least try it. Because I've never been able to adjust the rear drums to assist correctly. I've replaced the shoes twice, they really didn't need it both times. They just never want to help that much. Attempted to fix that many times....it never sticks.

Soooo, that's what the deal is then, they changed in 01?

I think AK had the 99 booster...that's the one I was after for awhile anyway.

No prob, the internet went through problems here as well...a few week ago anyway. It finally straightened out.


These are the pics I've had in the Brakes gallery I have on this site forever. Not sure it will help any, -

It's a strange one, this internet deal. I could get on here and FB from home. No Gmail, no Downdetector... I rebooted my computer before I left. It's showing not online, but my server is up and running and online.


That bottom booster is supposed to be what I ordered the first time, but that single diaphragm booster was in the box. Figured I'd roll the dice on the newer style since they essentially use the same firewall. I thought it would accept the MC too, but nope. I can overcome the 1/4" difference in spacing, but not so sure about the rod inside. Just for the ease of things, I'll just (probably) re-order the 2001ish booster.

Ron sent that to me a couple weeks ago.... I told him it looked like AI too. Lots of logo issues, illegible words....
