So, consensus is Toyota, Seiken, or City Racer?
Is the City Racer Booster made in Japan or? Can we expect it to have same quality, fit, longevity as OEM/ Seiken?
Personally would like it to last at lease 10 years/ 100-200k miles similar to the original one. I would be quite frustrated if I were having to replace again within 5 years.
Seiken worked well. Easy install, came with the needed paper gaskets. I also was lucky that the rod did not need much adjustment. One thing to consider is the MC rubber gasket where it fits on the booster. Mine was very hard after almost 30 years of service.So, consensus is Toyota, Seiken, or City Racer?

Love the cap connections! It's on my list to do for my replacement cap; I'm over those chains!Seiken for sure.
Well built and reasonably priced.
Just put one on mine today.

Does that swivel leak?
Anything special about the parts you used to make up the link from the hose to the cap?^^^^
Not a drop....which rather surprises me. I've had it on there for 4-5 years and used it quite a bit.

Same here. The easiest and cleanest brake bleed ever.^^^^

I think it is 47265-20050 or 47265 in your parts diagram. I know it did not come with the advics master cylinder from @cruiseroutfit, but easy to source. I would confirm the part number with others, I can’t find the invoice when I bought it last fall.Seiken here as well. Made in Japan. A couple hundred less than OEM. Installing this as a brake refresh and ABS delete.
@GeoRoss … that’s for the rubber gasket reminder. I don’t see it listed on the exploded parts view. Do you have a part number? Or maybe it comes with the booster? I’m not near my parts at the moment.
Edit: found the part number. Thanks Joey.

I did this too after seeing your set up. Works very well.^^^^
Kind of. The parts aren't special...but I did want to make my Power Bleeder more versatile.
1. I wanted to have quick connect ability, so I could easily change adapters.
2. I wanted to be able to place the pump/reservoir farther away from the engine compartment on certain vehicles. There is plenty of room to rest it and operate on my 80 and 100 series...and no consequences for a little bit of spilled Brake Fluid.
But on other vehicles I might want to place the pump on a table nearby or on the ground (hence the extension).
To that end, I gathered up some common 3/8" air-hose fittings and a roll of premium clear tubing (3/8" I.D.). Already had PEX crimp rings and crimper. Hose clamps could be substituted.

Thank you….I picked up the gasket from our local Toyota dealership yesterday.I think it is 47265-20050 or 47265 in your parts diagram.
