Hey guys I was going to get these from Pete at Fbody
But he doesn't stock em....
Has anyone else been in same situation ?
And who would you recommend for a new Booster and Master setup.....
I can of course get them overhauled locally
but I really would prefer new.....

Thanks Lucky

Try Dave at Pontiworld. I bought a mastercylinder off him a few years back that he was selling cheaper than you'd pay for a HQ one in an autoparts store....very good value.
Not sure on the booster, but it'd be worth checking his on-line site out.
At least you'll get the right booster/cylinder combo.

I'll second that, had a problem with a new booster unit recently that I had stored for years unused. Took it down to compare with plans on getting a new one, in turn was able to see the problem and I fixed it on the spot with help from his assistant, losing a sale as well!

But anyway, the MC's are copies of the original Delco units, I had one previously, purchased another as a spare as so cheap. That is for Disc/Drum setup though, imagine the TATA is 4-Wheel discs, which he has also for reasonable prices.
 
His boosters can be a little pricey but when you add the cost of shipping one from the US they come out fairly comparable. Plus the nice original gold-plated type are actually cheaper than the plain steel repros. Check him out though, only had chrome units in stock when I was there checking things a few weeks back, others on back order.

Guy's thanks for all your tips, ended up getting my booster overhauled by ATAP here in Australia

cheap at $105.00

cheers and thanks again
