Funny we should be discussing Karp's (east coast) right now; over on the
FWDLK website, John
Fowlie just happened to write that his Karp's-worked bellows-type
booster just catastrophically
failed, and that he almost rear-ended a police car!
Karp's expressed surprise, upon hearing the news.

Another nice guy to talk to, there.
Their quoted price, for their O/H work: $250.00 + $15.00
shipping/insurance.
They also said that they would call me, after they receive and
take-apart my booster, to advise me
on what they find to be needed to be done, and how much any
additional costs(!) might be involved.
Karp's states that they actually make the O/H kits, for 'all' the
other shops, and that there is at least
one "very-special" part, the front-seal, which 'nobody' has (whatever
that means).
Karp's is not, presently selling any front seals to the other-guys,
and Karp's has about 20 front seals
still in stock.
At first, Karp's said that they had a "3-week" work backlog, but,
later in the conversation, said that there
would be only a 5-6 day turn-around. Their internet site is @
resleeve.com
I think that I'm in the wrong business.

The cost to rebuild is $300.00 (US ) plus shipping and handling. We
replace all the rubber seals, valves, polish the shafts to standard
specs and install new rubber bellows on the outside. If the forks
are damaged it's an additional $70.00 (US) so be sure to pack it
carefully and insure it. You can send it by UPS, TNT or use FEDEX.
I would recommend the postal service as the price is less and there
aren't any duties.

Ron Karp

Subject: [FWDLK] Hissy Fitting (to be continued)
Dave Homstad has recommended that I contact White Post Restorations, and
so I did, today.
Spoke with a nice man, there, who told me that WPR only overhauls the
booster(s) ; no repair-parts
sold independently, and that there is only a 24-hr turn-around, on
their work, and that they would powder-coat my booster
(a nice touch), and that the booster-guy would be guaranteed
better-than-new, .....all for the low-low price of
only $490.00 !!!!!!!!!
If I had had a rubber-bellows type system, WPR would charge $695.00 for
an overhaul.
So, I guess that I'll keep on looking for a supplier of the overhaul
kit.
Can any of you confuser-geniuses do an Epay scan for me, for a brake
booster overhaul kit?
Meanwhile, I'll call Kanter and Bernbaum.
