Thanks for any help.

My 2 cents.... it is too cheap to be good .. but I am sure some people use it without problem... for the first year...

I installed a tandem booster from City Racer on my ‘74 and found it to be an increase in brake assist. I have large heavy tires and needed more braking force.

I would not buy what you linked personally

I am also very happy with my city racer booster!!
I have NEVER been happy with any eBay purchase. Too easy to scam with no recourse. Not as described and missing items 100% of the time.
I have a74 with 83 front disc brakes.
Got the 93 MC/booster/ proportioning valve set up to keep rear drums. I didn't even have to adjust the booster length.

I'm a little late to the party... For those that bought Brake Booster from City Racer - who is the mfg or country of origin? I'm trying to make sure it's not the same as a Rock Auto / Centric etc. are there any markings? Thanks in advance!

Also avoid the Rockauto Cardone unit.

Don't know, but the one I bought from him is a heavy-duty, quality unit that has served me well for years now.

I bought mine from City Racer, it has a spacer of about 20mm or so, as the 76 FJ40 original was much bigger, larger diameter and deeper.
The little rod that drives the master cylinder piston needs to be adjusted - mine was too long and it was putting the brakes on all the time... they locked up on me a couple of times until I adjusted it.

FYI: I found this old thread that sheds light on City Racer working with an undisclosed vendor / supplier to bring a quality booster to market 1976 - 1980 FJ40 Brake Booster Replacement List - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1976-1980-fj40-brake-booster-replacement-list.731418/page-3
