After 35 years of ownership I find myself diving into the possibility of brake booster replacement. All the other braking components in the system, including the booster check valve, have been thoroughly assessed and the symptoms of a very stiff brake pedal resistance with increased stopping distance point to one area…a failing booster diaphragm.
A few quick questions:

1. Boosters have been NLA for quite some time. What suppliers have you found that supply the best aftermarket product?

2. Are there rebuilders out there that can rebuild (not simply recondition) my OEM unit to acceptable operating standards?

3. Is there a current OEM unit, say from a later FJ80 model, that is still available and adaptable to the FJ62?
 
80 series booster is available and a upgrade. They are not cheap though. We’ve sold and installed a few locally recently

The City Racer booster works fine as well. Have installed +15 of them without issue
