Grant,
I may end up trying those rubber grease seals from Macs, but there is a difference in that the hole for the shock link is offset from centre, and the exact type that came off had the hole dead centre. I don't think they have any other ones, at least not that I have found. I am also looking at LWD Parts. There are some there that may also fit.

Bendix Book Looks Like A Real Find
It would be interesting to read the text to see just what they are testing for. I tried rebuilding one of these units by putting it back in the truck to test and that just is not really practical. I was working from the standard CMP MB-C2 manual. Set up to test it on the bench with a vacuum pump and it was a lot easier. Issues I ran in to were as follows:
Using the vacuum pump with and a ball valve I was able to test each component for leak down. As the number of leaks was narrowed down listening with a stethoscope became useful. When all the leaks are tracked down an minimized the brake booster will hold vacuum up to over night. Though even with a booster that will not hold charge once the engine is shut down the boost in braking power is significant. Keeping the air that is going into the unit clean seems to be the biggest issue. Which means finding a replacement for the bellows boot, fortunately off road shock absorber boots can be found that are a very good size match. But as I said it would be very interesting to hear what the major test the Bendix Book is recommending. Cheers Phil

Brake Booster
Hi Tony - Bower Brakes here in Adelaide rebuild these. I have had several done and I believe these guys are the only ones in the country that do them.

MLU is a true collective resource
Thanks for posting the link to the Bendix Manual download. It just amazes me that you can a question about a resource and with in hours some body comes up with a resource.
The Bendix Manual looks like it will make interesting reading. Cheers Phil
