Hi All,

When I stripped my car for the rebuild it had a straight rod booster which I had rebuilt and a VN front cover fitted to accept the VN master cylinder.

It was only after refitting the booster in the car I noticed that the rod didn't line up with the pedal and I needed a bent rod booster which I bought.

What model would the straight rod booster have come from?
It is a dual diaphragm.

Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom,

Parts catalogues show VH329 (straight rod booster) suits LH and LX (pre RTS?) Torana with 8cyl eng

Use VH 329 with cast iron calipers.

Use VH 345 with cast iron and alloy type calipers (exc ADR 31)

Use VH 346 with ADR 31

Cheers

Dave.
