Ohlgren Report post Posted October 22, 2013 I meant the brake booster you were talking about in the quote. You were looking for a rebuild kit for the brake booster yes? If the car has not been driven in quite a while, a brake booster rebuild is a good idea. It cost me about $500 to have it done and it fits in a small box for mailing. You may not be able to find a kit for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyno Report post Posted October 22, 2013 When I had my Jalpa I did the Permatune ignition upgrade. I bought it from Raymond and had no issues with it. Sometimes the MSD units can't get the Tach to work. I can't wait for this build thread to start!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up for anything really, long as it works and is an improvement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter K Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Do what I did in my Jarama. I replaced both brake boosters with something more modern, reliable, safer, and longer lasting. The boosters suck in the early cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplop Report post Posted October 23, 2013 What the hell kind of cheap ass shipping you get? I'm trying to just be positive right now. I think I'll work on the trackday project while I wait. This has been a shit week for me. Do what I did in my Jarama. I replaced both brake boosters with something more modern, reliable, safer, and longer lasting. The boosters suck in the early cars. Any specific part numbers that are compatible or cross referenced? I see no reason that couldn't be done, makes sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplop Report post Posted October 30, 2013 They had issues loading it up apparently. The car is less than 20 minutes away from me, but he wants some daylight to unload it. Sounds like the calipers are frozen up on the car and it won't move. So he wants some time in the morning in daylight to unload it. He said they had to be ridiculously careful to load it up and not hurt it because it wouldn't roll. *sigh* I knew the brakes needed help, but, ugh haha. So it sounds like tomorrow early in the morning will be "the time" - I'll update then. Kinda bummed, won't lie. But I'd rather have him take the time with some daylight and make sure nothing is harmed, than rush it and hurt it in the dark.
