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.

Cobra Brake Booster Check Valve
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. ?
Does anyone know if either of these Midland check valves will fit my Midland booster? Gary in SoCal |

I actually have a Maisto die cast model of the 69 Dega and it is.more spot on.

This was probably 15 years ago and I can't remember his name just now. It is in my notes somewhere, but they are a horrible mess. He claimed that the Maisto model was done based on the Ford drawings and documentation of a Talladega. He also told me that this documentation was later lost in a dispute with a vendor. <sigh> He had also worked on the Talladega in 1969 and told me that the workers at Ford hated the car because any one with the skills was called in on a Saturday to relead the fenders that had not been done correctly by the vendor.
