    Sorry I misread what you need. Add www.Kanter.com to the list above for the brake booster search.

    Do you have a 1957 Buick chassis manual? It has the exploded view of the master cylinder and booster there.

    It is a pretty easy job to rebuild these. Just take your time and keep everything in order.

    Look, when it comes to brakes for your 57 retailer aren't gonna have what you need. Authenticity. So Don't buy the ebay china crap from the sleazbay garbage haulers. Don't buy from the retailers that sell everything under the sun and most of it imported junk that either does not fit or because it's just inferior. Go the guys who have the parts and kits that actually rebuild these units from either in house manufacturing or in country sourcing.

    Here a few off the top of my head. Also, don't get talked into reboring or sleeving your Bendix or Moraine unit. Why? Cause they are displacement cylinders and do not have pistons that ride in an actual bore. More details on that if you want. Anyway try these guys:
