Right hand drive brake booster
« on: October 14, 2017, 17:36:34 »
Hello. This is my first post.Iit concerns a failed brake booster on my 1970 280sl. In the UK there is no rebuilder of these as they are specifically non clevis fork linkage, having a ball end instead, which pushes into a linkage lever. My question is whether it is possible to fit a left hand drive booster mounting with the clevis fork fitment for such and then use a booster with a fork. It appears that the rhd mounting is shorter perhaps due to lack of space for the booster with master cylinder attached. I believe I can obtain the lhd mounting with lever and remanufactured lhd boosters are readily available. I would be most grateful for any advice.   Regards Chris

It is possible to rebuild your RHD booster but expensive.
Contact me for details.

Just wondering if you managed to resolve the brake booster issue. I managed to slightly modified a new LH booster, which fitted well into my 250sl.
