Is this hydrobooster busted?

When the hydrobooster is off the car and the fluid is drained, are you suppoed to turn the accumulator or should it always be tight?  Mine turns and wobbles a bit.  I don't know if it would become tight once fit to the car and bled.

I talked to a few people and they all said it should not be loose, so I emailed the guy who sold me this one and he's sending a replacement.   :2thumbs:

I received the replacement booster today and the accumulator is rock solid.   :2thumbs:

Now I wish I had ordered the mounting plate from Tallon last month because they just raised their price from $85 to $110.  Not happy about that.

I may just end up welding the Astro van's mounting plate to the Charger plate to use the stock holes.

I would try to adapt it first.  You can always order the new plate if you don't like the results.   :shruggy:

That's true!  I have no other use for the stock booster plate so I've got nothing to lose!   :2thumbs:

Why not sell the stock plate to cover some of the cost of the Tallon plate?  :shruggy:

That plate has value?  I did not realize that.  Sure I can sell it if it brings in some cash. 

Maybe I have some more to sell.   When I ordered this first booster I got it with a few lines still attached but nothing else, and that's what I expected.  But when I told the seller the accumulator was busted he said he'd send me another booster and he did.  What he didn't say was that he was going to leave the master cylinder and combo valve attached to it as well.   :lol:

I might get a few bucks for that.
