    I've heard a couple of reviews on these guys BUT I have no direct knowledge. The web site isn't anything special but might be worth trying to contact them if nothing else comes up.

    I would STRONGLY SUGGEST replacing the original Bendix unit with a modern power booster/split master cylinder (2 separate fluid circuits) unit! The original wasn't bad in it's day, but when they go bad, you have no brakes at all. The new units are so much better & Cheaper, & easier to replace if necessary, that there's not much reason to attempt to save the old unit unless you are doing a "period correct" restoration.

    Purchase a kit and rebuild yourself . They are very simple units
