ReMan Incorporated I think, but I can't find the website anymore. I used him before but can't seem to find him again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

They have gotten expensive in recent years, I'm sure because of liability issues. We expect to pay anywhere from $350 - $600 per rebuild, depending on the unit. I've never asked, but I assume there's a warranty of some sort included. -Michael | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 54 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 54 | Don't mean to sidetrack your thread, but hydrovac systems are dear to my heart , argh.
I have a 1953 6400 chevy, it does not get driven much so it seems I'm always messin' with the brakes. I bet I pump em 25 times just to get a pedal after its been sitting. It will stop fine but it will not hold a pedal. I can pump it up to a fairly hard pedal but after a few minutes it will go back to the floor. I'm always adding brake fluid, and have no idea wheres it's going? the rascal ( master cylinder) is always dry after sitting for awhile. There are no leaks from the master cylinder or wheel cylinders that I can see....
Thanks
Also have a 1966 60 series with a hydrovac system, oh joy

Has anyone ever changed theirs for a modern master cylinder and a vacume booster in the original location of the m/c? I have a 42 1 1/2 ton. It seems that having a more modern set up would be a good way to go if possible. | | |
