1963 power brake booster boot and seal

[Frank D.]

A friend just pulled this off a 63 headed for a restomod conversion - I told him I thought it was original but I've never actually physically seen one before. What say you ?

Frank, they are original parts, except they do not go together. The metal part has a rubber boot attached with a single hole. The part with the multiple holes goes behind the metal part and has a filter in it. It is not attached to the metal part but slips over a ring on the back of the booster. Bubba took two different parts to make one.

Thanks Harry, I thought something looked hinkey about it; it jogged my memory back to when I cobbled together a fascimile boot for my 63, I used a hard plastic in lieu of the metal piece.

Wish I had had these original pieces then.

Very nice! And yeah I see the fibrous filter through the inner boot holes.

I have made several '63 power brake booster seals from a carcass donated by Andy Cannizzo.
