Gary,
I recently had my '61 booster rebuilt by Karp's. They are located in CA and
the website is www.resleeve.com. Theyt charge $200
I am very pleased with the result and it only took a few days for them to
complete the job.
I think you will find that Imperial brake boosters changed in '62 with the
master cylinder bolted on the front of the booster instead of being
separately located underneath. The chances are other Chrysler products
changed too.
Best wishes,
Tony Vickers
