Hi, It has been a while since I have posted anything but I thought I should start again with the current repairs. The cruiser has been parked since last summer due to a lack of time/funds. But it is now time to get it back on the road. It has a few issues to be dealt with but the most important one is to get the brakes fixed so we can start driving it again.
It is a 1981 BJ-42 living in Canada. But here is a pic of the truck from a road trip in Guatemala a few years ago.
I have been reading about new boosters and had found the ones Racer 65 sold so I ordered one last Saturday and it arrived on Friday. So that was some quick shipping. Here it is right out of the box.
Here is the old booster in the truck,
The two of them on the shelf seemed to be pretty similar size with the spacer attached to the new booster. One of the only differences was that the rod that attaches to the brake pedal was a bit longer but it just barely fit with out any modifications.
