I actually don’t mind these repops...for the price they look decent and work well. Way better than the typical parts store booster that looks like it belongs on an ‘87 Buick Century.

The best restorer of original boosters has a comparison on his website.

One thing to know is a little tip from Jed P here in PA, the receptacle on the face of the booster is too long - probably for multiple applications, and thus it effectively maintains constant brake pressure. This is a small bakelite type of item, and it must be ground flush to prevent the brakes from overheating....

There was a Buick GS that had a severe brake failure with a repop . The halves of the booster turned and the booster came apart. The tabs were never locked into place to prevent it from twisting . Car was not damaged but his boxers were totaled ..

I've sent an original booster to Steve Gregori to have it redone and he's brilliant at restoring them if it's not heavily pitted. Sometimes you buy a donor at $200 and then send it to be rebuilt at say $350 and you can easily have $500-$600 into by the time it's back. Not practical for a driver car IMO, and so easy to use the repro at $114 which now includes the stamp. I just used one on this Nova I'm doing and as long as it works..I'll be a happy guy with it on there.
