Hi all, I've replaced everything in the brake system on the 67 Kaiser Jeepster Commando except the booster. (mostly stock with 225 v6, T400, shifter console, power brakes, etc). Finding a replacement for the booster has proven to be next to impossible by asking for the direct replacement part. Anyone here know what other power brake boosters will drop into this (if any) or at least one that won't require me to hack up my nice original firewall. I'm open to replacing the master cylinder with the booster if required, but I'd rather not since that was rebuilt with everything else. I'm obviously not against modifying things (like my Willys @
67 Jeepster Commando brake upgrade?
The old Motors Manuals used to have brake booster rebuilding instructions. I remember when people would rebuild almost everything by themselves, even rewind windshield wiper motors. The Rebuilding Factory quotes $85 for an "average" brake booster. This is cheap enough, considering the trouble you can get into, trying to rebuild something like this on your own.

Thanks for the tip about Motors, my Dad has a ton of those going all the way back to the 40s that he's promised to give me.

I can live with a couple new holes in the firewall. I just didn't want to bore out a big garfed-up hole to fit something in there. I'll have to check out the AJC, that's actually where I bought the Jeepster from in the first place.
