Brake vacuum booster 140-160 1970

I really need a brake vacuum booster for my '70 142. Other years may work, we can compare photos to be sure.

email me at brad.pearson@us.ina.com for faster response.

Thanks a lot.

Girling or ATE? You can fix the Girling's fairly easily, mostly with just a new diaphram. I've never looked for ATE parts.

It's a Girling, and I've tried to find the diaphragm. I have the part number off of the diaphragm, and have contacted several companies with no luck. Do you have any idea on where I could find the diaphragm. I agree it's very easy, I've had mine apart several times.

Try "Booster" Dewey, 503-238-8882, I think he can rebuild the girling or perhaps get parts.

Brake Specialty CO (http://www.brakespecialty.com/) in atlanta rebuilt a girling I found in a junk yard for me. The ATE could not be rebuilt i think.

I have cars with original ATE boosters on them, never had one of those fail.

The 140 Girling booster shares alot of parts including the diaphram with our late '60's early '70's Ford Falcon.(Would be the same as your '60's Falcons, I know our Falcon provides bolt on parts to convert LHD to RHD Mustangs) Sorry I can't give a part number, our Aussie brake company, PBR, makes 99% of our brake parts, they even have front brake hoses, PN: H1040 & 1041 for 140's/164's. My local non-genuine parts European parts place also carries original equipment ATE hoses, they feature yellow rings on them for where you locate them on the swaybar link pin bracket.
