Dear Bjoern,


                      As far as I know, there are no new replacement brake boosters.   Pantera Performance Center sends them off for dis-assembly and repair from what I am told.   


                                              Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

Hi all,
Trying to help a friend with some parts for his DeTomaso:
Anyone here that know where to obtain a repair kit for the brake booster?
Or perhaps a new brake booster?
It has 4 bolts and is for a 1980 GT5.

What's the part number for the Ducato booster mentioned previously?

Cheers Bjoern
