been looking for a NEW power brake booster, amazon & summit seem to only offer rebuilds..... is this as good as it gets? i got a 86 ss that i prolly dumped over 20k in in last 4 yrs, anyway a area neglected is the above wheel brake system. while it all still works, its all still 39/40 yr old plastics & rubber seals & of 73k miles... already decided gonna risk that over 20k, limb & life with a new ac delco master cylinder after testimony from those here and vids on the outside such as below but this a post about where can get a new booster not rebuilds.
 
Don't know of any off-hand. Nothing wrong with a rebuilt unit if they know what they're doing. The quality parts and rebuilder themselves is the main thing. Which tends to be the big question mark. Even if you find an NOS one, you still have old seals and rubber bits, and while it may be better than what you got, it's not a slam dunk of being perfect, either.

The big issue is that support for the G-body cars, just isn't the same as the earlier classics as far as producing NEW parts that can be serviced as a rebuilt unit. Sales drive innovation, so business models evaluate the need for stuff like this. Unfortunately, investing in building new boosters for G-bodies isn't a priority. Old car parts aren't like the field of dreams, if you build it, you have no idea how many will come. So it's risky.
