Correct ATE Brake Booster Number for Late 230SL
« on: November 06, 2012, 13:05:53 »
Looking to possibly replace my ATE Brake Booster on my 67 230SL with LHD. Not really sure what the correct MB number for this is. I've seen one listed with a part number of 000 430 55 30, but the front portion towards the master cylinder appears to be concave shaped while my original appears to be convex(sunken in). Anyone know if the 000 430 55 30  is a direct replacement? Are they the saem physical size/ Mounting the same?

Thx guys

If your VIN is higher than 6297, you want 000 430 56 30 according to the EPC.

Thanks, Chuck. Looks like the one I keep seeing with the other number may be for a right hand drive 113. I'll probably opt to go with the rebuild at Power Exchange as some others have done.
