THE FIRST ONES WERE COPIES OF THE BENDIX \"CHEVETTE\" POWER BRAKE UNIT. THESE WERE SMALL, BUT DID NOT HAVE TH EPOWER TO STOP A LARGE, POWERFUL CAR OR TRUCK. THE IMPORTERS REALIZED THEY NEED A \"DUAL DIAPHRAGM\" BOOSTER TO STOP THE HEAVIER CARS. THEY HAVE BEEN MARKETING THROUGH THE MASS MERCHANDISER AND TH EMAIL ORDER COMPANIES AS AN \"8\" DUAL\" VACUUM BOOSTER. THESE BOOSTERS ARE MADE OFF-SHORE (CHINA) AND WERE LOW ON PRESSURE, USUALLY NEEDING A VACUUM PUMP TO ASSIST IT. THESE ARE COMMONLY USED ON \"MUSCLE CARS\" AND \"STREET RODS\". THEY ARE USED ON JEEP CONVERSIONS AND ON MANY \"UNIVERSAL FIT\" APPLICATIONS. THEY ARE ALSO SOLD BY MAIL ORDER COMPANIES SUCH AS  \"MBM MARKETING\",\"STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE CO.\" SUMMIT RACING\", \"DANCHUCK MFG\", ETC. STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT.   THEY HAVE NOT DECIDED TO DISCONTINUE SELLING THEM OR NOT. THE DEFECT IS, AFTER APPROX A YEAR OF SERVICE, THE CONSTANT FLEXING OF THE STEEL CAN THAT SUPPORTS THE MASTER CYLINDER, WHEN THE MASTER IS PUSHED OUT BY THE BOOST PRESSURE, IS FATIGUE CRACKING THE STEEL. THIS IS OPENING UP THE CRACKS AROUND BOTH SIDES OF THE MASTER CYLINDER MOUNTING AREA. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE UNITS INSTALLED ON CARS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE INSTALLED ON CARS BEING BUILT IN SHOPS AROUND THE COUNTRY. AFTER THE FATIGUE CRACKING SETS IN, A PANIC STOP COULD PUSH THE MASTER CYLINDER RIGHT OFF THE FRONT OF THE BOOSTER.  I HAVE A SAMPLE OF ONE OF THE CRACKED UNITS.   I REPORTED THIS SITUATION TO SEMA, AND THEY REFERRED ME TO YOU.  THERE IS NO MAKE OR MODEL, AS THESE ARE UNIVERSAL REPLACEMENT BOOSTERS.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"9999","productMake":"UNKNOWN","productModel":"UNKNOWN","manufacturer":"UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER"}]}]}
