 Location: lafayette,La. | I have a 1958 Chrysler with the accordion type brake booster.(picture included). Also I have an 8" power booster left over from another project.(picture included) Is it possible to replace the accordion brake booster with the 8" brake booster. Thanks Jerry

      Location: Netherlands | Just the booster, no. The bellow booster works in reverse compared to a 'regular' booster.
I will only work if you are willing to change the entire brake system under the dash to a later style system.

 Location: lafayette,La. | OK thanks for the information. I am not familiar with the bellows type booster is it as efficient as the round boosters. Jerry

       Location: NorCal | To mount the 8" booster in the original master cylinder location and clear the Hemi valve cover you need a bracket that elevates the booster.
