Be Advised- the bendix syle mopar brake booster sold by priate jacks has a larger rear hub than the original. PJ customer service is aware of the issue and their fix is to sell you a reinforcement plate that will accomidate this hub for 100 bucks, or advise you to take a grinding wheel to your O.E. reinforcement plate and firewall.
This problem does not appear to be posted anywhere on their web site. I was only made aware of the issue when I called to ensure I had been issued the correct booster. Funny how a $300 Booster can turn into $400 real quick.
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with C-4.

When i got mine a couple months ago i was told i would need there plate. i only bought in the end because the diamond hole in the factory one needs to be round in the new set up to accept the pedal rod i just did not want to fuss with it.

what i found a little annoying is that the booster bolt pattern was slightly larger/wider than the holes in the plate.

They probably did that for copy right reasons.   :shruggy:

just got off the phone with Steve at Pirate Jacks. he has since heard of the problem with the plates bolt pattern and has offered a new plate n/c.

first rate supplier, offered a remedy to a problem before i could ask.

i am getting a couple parts, the MC cover paint was chipping off, the plate holes problem and the lines i go in the kit were braided and i want rubber ones. these are in the mail, and i told him i will send back the other ones.

got to tell you that most suppliers are accommodating like this. Tamraz is the only one i would never use again.
