Re: Cobra Brake Booster Check Valve
|
Garry, Also IIRC I think the Midland one has a larger nipple vs the smaller Bendix. All you need to do is go into Auto Zone, Napa, Car Quest with your broken Booster Check Valve to make sure you get the correct size. See the below link for a general valve. https://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-traction-control/power-brake-booster-check-valve NOTE: I was able to carefully twist & pull out the valve from the original hose out from under the factory crimp clamp & install the new valve the same way. Depending on how new your hose is you might be able to carefully & slightly uncrimp the clamp so you can slide out the valve & slide in the new one & then recrimp it. Also depending on where & how it broke it might be possible to repair it with JB Weld. IF it was one of the nipples that broke off you could slide some metal tubing up the center for added support & then JB Weld the nipple, tubing & the valve all together.

You can also check with The Ram Man in TX. A few years ago I called them & bought a reaction disk/diaphragm (a rubber disk with metal fingers molded into it) for the inside of the Midland booster on my 68 Torino GT. He was the ONLY one who would sell me the part & the reason being is I knew what the part was & I knew it was the cause of my problem as I described it all & my diagnosis. With the help of the 68 Shop manual & a Chilltons manual and some searching online I had all the info I needed as back in the day you could buy a booster rebuild kit for the Banded Midland boosters, so I was able to locate the name of the part I needed. He sent it out right away. I installed it & all was fine, but later had other issues unrelated to the to the part I got & the booster failed (the original rubber billows blew). I was in a very tight time crunch as in days & hours to make the trip to an FCA meet when the booster fully failed & couldn't source a booster, I saw he had Bendix one listed on Ebay with the bracket (NOTE to all the mounting bracket IS different & is Matched to the booster brand used), I called him direct & bough the assembly from him & he shipped it right out. I got it just in time (a matter of hours) & was able to convert my Torino from the original Midland over to a Bendix booster. I had to swap both booster, bracket & I think the linkage but can't remember. http://therammaninc.com/ (817) 429-0105 7200 Winters St, Fort Worth, TX 76120, United States David from WNY On Wednesday, November 25, 2020, 07:52:19 PM EST, Gary Wittman <gary.wittman@...> wrote: Thanks Bernie.?

He would know and most likely would have one in stock, since his business is rebuilding boosters. ? ? ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? From: Gary Wittman ? The check valve broke on my brake booster.? I have found out both Bendix and Midland boosters were used on 68 and 69 Fairlanes.? After a little search it appears mine is a Midland, but I have not found a Midland check valve specifically for a 69 Fairlane.? The Midland check valves for a 61-71 Thunderbird look like mine and 67-68 Cougars also look the same as mine. ? ? ?
