Default Need new brake booster

Anyone have a good place that I can find a new brake booster for my 1969 Mach1? Mine is pretty much shot, after 1 month it is STILL leaking brake fluid from inside!! There shouldn't be any in there in the first place! (well i don't think so at least). My dad's and my conclusion is that the diaphram inside is cracked or broken in some way, cuz it is hard to hold sucktion as well.

Where can a get a new one with out breaking the bank?

Yea we know, we already got the master cylinder. We just thought we'd probably be able to get off with keeping the old brake booster, but it doesn't seem like it's good anymore.

4reboy, you can get the booster complete or alone from either ABS Power Brake In or Linero Mustamgs both are on Long Beach or Pomona swap meet, Linero is on Long Beach space #574 and Pomona Row 22, they normaly will ask you for $275 for a complete booster but they will go as low as $250 cash, they are new and with warranty..the next Long Beach is on October 8 Pomona on October 15...hope this help

Thanks 289FB! the only problem is those might be too far away (time wise), the Long Beach one might work tho (near by too!). It's just we are hoping to get this car running soon (I would like to start driving to school), we can put the old booster in for now, but it is a major paint in the *** to get back out. Thanks for the info tho.
