hey guys ive got a front seal on my brake booster that is leaking. its the cup shaped seal that seals the master cylinder to the booster. i cant for the life of me find anyone that sells one. does anyone know of a company that sells this seal or, if the fron seal off a 67 vette is the same because i can get my hands on one of those. thanks im sure someone here can track it down.

Normally they come in a MC seal kit....off the shelf item even in NZ.

are you sure about this, ive checked a couple different master cylinder kits and none seem to contain this seal. it could just be certain brands of rebuild kits include them and some dont though. anyone else have an idea?? any response is greatly appreaciated.:beers:
id rather not have to buy a new booster.

Yes I am sure, I replaced them about 6 months ago.
The new MC didnt have that seal so got a kit...they are not expensive.

What are you leaking that you need to find this seal? I don't know if you know but this seal does not hold the brake fluid in the master... (if you do know this sorry)

there is a little plunger or rod about a half in. in diameter that goes through the seal from the booster. the seal is split and is leaking vacuum.
