Just spotted Ford Brake Booster Kit

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Was just looking through E-Bay and spotted what looks to be a NOS Ford CMP Brake Booster Kit. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ford-Flathead-Tr...QQcmdZViewItem

On the Ford Flathead seller http://stores.ebay.com/Flathead-V8 some other CMP stuff mixed in along site.

Usual disclaimer, I have no connection with seller.

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Sold for GBP 79.99

This is new old stock and in excellent condition

I believe this to be a Brake Booster Assembly from a 1940 85 HP V8 Ford Truck. It is still packed in its original box and you can see from the packing list that this is the first time that this as been opened since 1945

Part Number CO1TFS 2005A

Hi Guys

Thanks for listing the booster, I have been hunting for one for a while, as I have none of these parts for my Portee, MLU helps out again.

Hi Tim

Glad it found someone who need it. When I saw it I looked up the part number in the FORD FAT parts book and saw it was a CMP part number so I figured that someone in our little band of CMPers would be looking for it.

This is the third time that I have found NOS brake boosters for CMPs on the internet. Last time it was a pair of mislisted boosters for the Chevy one I bought for my truck and the other went to Bob for his truck.

Cheers Phil

The odd thing about this booster is that either he has several, or he's had it listed off and on for a year or so without it selling. If anyone else needs one, it might be worth an e-mail to the seller.

Now, what I'm looking for is a rebuild kit (preferably not 60 years old) that would suit the Chev (and perhaps the Bendix manual to cover this version of the Hydrovac). Does anyone have any idea what the civilian application for these boosters was. I've not found any civil uses, but it's hard to believe that the whole system, linkage, booster and all, was unique to the CMPs. After all, so many parts of the brake system, including the master cylinder and wheel brake assemblies were off the shelf parts.

Grant you might want to dig out the rebuild kit and CMPs parts numbers and send them to some of the Chevy parts guys like http://www.vehiclesofvictory.com/ thats where I found the CMP brake boosters he had the number but didn't know what it fitted.

I wonder if the base of the Chevy CMP brake booster was in the Chevy vacuum shift unit. Your right so much what is used in CMP was off the shelf parts.

.... in summary we could use 3 rebuild kits for the Chevy booster..?

Tell me Phil...... are you up to your A.........................
..........armpit in snow yet????

Awful white in Ottawa.

Did you use your booster as is without rebuilding...?

That dealer in the UK has been listing CMP NOS parts for quite some times now...... particularly Ford V8 parts....not cheap with the shipping but unique...... quite helpful as a dealer and I have bought from him...... he has a hard time searching for stuff since his garage warehouse is away from his house and he has no idea of what he has until he unwraps a new lot of parts...... and he seems to have lots.....

..........armpit in snow yet???? -------It depends on where you stand, we've been getting it 7-10 inches at a time instead of one big storm, problem is a layer of ice underneith which makes plowing difficult, gotten stuck on flat ground twice now with the plow truck.

Awful white in Ottawa.

Did you use your booster as is without rebuilding...? -----No just took it apart enough to be sure it was clean inside and put new oil on the plunger seal then bench tested it works fine it is going in BEAUTY when I do the engine swap this winter.

About rebuild kits I'm sure they are still out there the problem is finding them, over the years I've seen some strange Canadian parts show up in parts dealers from states along the boarder.

Hi Dirk - Sorry I forgot one of the logical places to check. Now to Bobs question do you have the rebuild kits for the Chev CMP brake boosters?

Cheers Phil
