    Based on your experiences , what is the best place to have my 67 Midland type power brake booster rebuilt ( probably needs a new diaphragm ) ?? No one here in Canada can get the required parts to rebuild them . Are the parts available somewhere or is it a well kept secret that only rebuilders know ?? Thanks for your helps guys !!

    Booster Dewey rebuilt the Midland booster for my KR. No complaints, works great. Kenny

    I had John Stuart in Stoney Creek rebuild my booster for my '67 and it lasted 200 miles.I took the booster out and took it back to them and they found a torn diaphram.They fixed it and told me they would not fix it again and that it failed because of excessive heat from my stock motor.They wanted me to put a heat shield on my booster.I did not do that and reinstalled the booster hoping that they just goofed up the first time.Guess what,about 200 miles later and the booster has a torn diaphram again. I have talked to Booster Dewey since and will be sending mine to him when I pull it out.
