Brake Booster rebuild

[StangGuy67]

Has anybody had any luck in getting a booster rebuilt for a sedan? Miles says he's out of parts, and 2 local rebuilding shops have had no luck.
What do you all do to get these working again? Tim Mings has an NOS one, but the rubber in a 30 year old part can't be any good.
Ideas?

Try calling Bush Power Brake, at XXX-XXX-XXXX. Bush has been able to bring quite a few Honda 600 boosters (small black ones) back to life.  Also talk to White Post restorations at www.whitepost.com .  And as to the booster rubber being a problem, if the diaphragm is not leaking and the ends are sealed, they can last for a very long time.  I have even used a booster diaphragm that was pulled off the back plate and laying on its side in the housing.  I RTV'd it in place and use wire ties to keep it there, and left them on when I put it back together.  I think there are still pictures of it on the ANZ group site.
Also, Honda can get these items made, but to make this happen we need to show that there is a need.  One or two orders will not do it.
