My buddy has a 72 FJ and he's looking for a brake booster for it. I checked napa online and rockauto, neither of the two had a listing for one. My friend said he found one but I want to say it was either 300 or 600 bucks. Any help would be great guys!

hey-
You can use a booster off any LC, and even off a minitruck, Tundra, or Celica. I am running a Tundra booster on my '71 with a '71 resevoir. The bolt pattern for the resevoirs are all the same. The pattern at the firewall may differ a little between some boosters. For example, the Tundra booster's pattern was slightly different and I had to wallow out the holes in the firewall to make it fit.
The mid to late 70's boosters are a dual diaphram (more power), early 70's single (less power). But the early 70's boosters are smaller, allowing more room. The tundra, celica, and minitruck boosters are all also small.

Ok cool:) I'll go from there but might have some more questions.

remember, some boosters have the check-valve attached to the booster...while others have them in-line.

I'm running a booster from a supra, which bolted right up after rotating 180 degrees.

whenever a booster is replaced:
remember to verify the booster-rod length...ask me how I know :shaking:

hth,
manny

v6 mini truck is ive used

my 73 has the booster and MC off of an 1989 4x4 4cyl toyota truck bolted right on no problems other then now (3 years later) i need to replace the MC and its cheaper to get a new reman one over buying the rebuild kit

i use a celica.....maybe an 83

Thanks for all the help. I'll let you guys know tomorrow what we are going to do with it.

Please forgive me.....I am a cruiser newbie!! :homer:

I have a `69 that I need to rebuild (the whole rig :rolleyes:). I have a 94 mini truck booster and master. It has a non power master cylinder on it right now. Is this going to be a problem to put on the `94 setup. Just eye balling it, the rib on the fire wall looks to be in the way. I know search....I have been searching soo much in the last few days my head is spinning!! :D If the rib is in the way and I cut it out, should I reinforce the firewall there? Flame on!!!:flipoff2:
