Sirfixalot should know the answer to this.

Thanks Guys, ive actually found two sellers on ebay selling genuine GM parts that are about $335 -$370 with shipping. Just need to pull out mine to check backing mounts to be sure. I think its best to stick to AC Delco products.
However, in still going to see if anyone has them here. I also have found reproduction ones for about $160 shipped.
If someone still has use some holden part, let me know.

Scott at C.A.C. (ad at bottom of forum pages) may have a Delco one in stock.
Some options here:

Re Holden compatibility, call "Sirfixalot". His number is in the magazine and in the Club's contacts list.

I'd be taking a close look at clearances before fitting a new unit. Those 'pretty' heat shields look horribly close to the booster body and it would only take a soft or broken engine mount to have the new booster go the same way :thumbdown: Just a thought but that kind of break is not common :huh:
69VETTE:
Hello Sabre, Yeah I see what you mean, never crossed my mind actually. Personally I thought, the booster being 18 years old and close to the engine, its gotten hard over time, and with the vacuum being inside, just punctured.. tho you can never be too sure!
I don't think its the engine mounts, I think that they may have been changed at the time the motor was rebuilt, tho I will ask the owner. From my discussion with him yesterday, apparently its the original booster that was on the car when converted in 1993.
So that like, its an 18 years old booster.
I appreciate your feedback regardless and will look at it again.. and see if the reason was the engine... my brother is a mechanic, so we will jack it up and see if it touches.
