Is there any decent place in Sydney that does brake booster reconditioning, done a search but didn't come up with much.

Found this place in SA that sounds good, anyone used them? https://www.powerbra...onent-restorers

I saw hydraboost as well , didn’t sound too bad either so might have to go with one of them as doesn’t seem to be much in Sydney .Sent 

my original cast iron master cylinder off to these guys in Lismore after much research http://www.halraybrake.com.au/

There is a guy in a dungeon workshop near Silverwater
Auto Brakes I think is his business name 97484944, Peter

He has done a booster for me years ago, I still have a spare one he rebuilt and I didn't use as it was a straight push rod and I needed a bent push rod

Booster is back, painted in what looks like a satin black, all looks brand new, will have to wait a bit to see if it works as finishing car is still a bit off,  cost $300
