Richard,
If you want a new bellows, try:
Power Brake Exchange, 800-322-1775, in California.
I have been discussing with them a power brake rebuild for a different type,
but I had also inquired about the Mopar bellows type. They said that the
bellows is available in a new reproduction from India. It is rediculously
expensive. For just the bellows part alone, it is $200 or more!!!
I have found the bellows to be very durable. The bellows used on any Mopar
from 56 to 60 or so, should be interchangeable. If you can find one in a
salvage yard in a car with the hood down, it should clean up fine. They were
fairly common on many Mopars. A fair price would be $25 to $30. I bought one
last summer for a spare (after I heard the price of a new one) for only $8
from a yard that was crushing out. Another yard wanted $100. He still has his!
