          Try Lonestar in Canton, TX and ask for Brad Lindsey. (903) 829 - 8400.

              I called Lonestar. Unfortunately, was told that Brad was an employee there but they do not do wok on brake boosters. Oh well.

                      Steve Gregori sold his business to Mike Gibbons, so do not ask for Steve. The website address is the same as Patrick and I supplied.

                              Sorry Jim, I thought that they did rebuild power break boosters. However, as for Brad he is a long-term employee and anytime I sent them a part to rebuild he would actually police and expedite the part through the process from start to finish.

                                      Any idea if Mike is still in business? Emails & phone calls go unanswered(VM box is full).

                                      EDIT> Made contact with Mike, his wife yelled at him for not being prompt. He is busy in his defense.
                                      He took the time to have a 10min conversation on what my options are with up front prices.

                                      Im sending out the booster and master soon.

                                          That is good news. I have not been in contact with him since he did my booster. I was pleased with the workmanship.
