Expert Posts: 1497 Location: Fairfax, Minnesota | Booster Dewey As Ian stated, quick service and a reasonable price. I will add- accessable and helpful. I am not sure if I remember this bit of information correctly, but I think the price of a rebuild kt is close to what Dewey charges.

Expert Posts: 3887 Location: Northen Virginia | I checked out and I'm quite surprised of the $323 dollars from Booster Dewey ouch! same price as the bellows type. I'm obviously not updated with the prices of rebuilding. I have to consider the rebuilding kit then. Who carry those Brad? Thanks a lot guys | ||

Expert Posts: 3887 Location: Northen Virginia | I also called to: http://www.powerbrakex-change.com/ price is actually higher, and the price is for disassemble, cleaning and reassembly ONLY, if something is broken inside the cost is going to be higher according to him. I would not even try them. | ||

Expert Posts: 1497 Location: Fairfax, Minnesota | You may want to check with Andy Bernbaum http://www.oldmoparts.com/parts-service-brakes.aspx This is the only oval listed but he may have what you need | ||

Expert Posts: 3887 Location: Northen Virginia | thanks a lot guys, I will check this options. Still it is hard to believe the prices, who can blame to the guys who change the booster for something else. I always felt lucky of my Oval canister, but the Bellows kit cost exactly the same.

Regular Posts: 56 Location: Washington, PA | Those guys I listed in Pittsburgh did great as far as I can tell. I have not put it back on the car or anything yet but I went there in person to drop off and pick up and so far I am pleased. | ||
