Brake Booster Valve Tag

[DDZ28]

Need a little help.

I have a 9978 original mile L78 car with a brake booster valve tag CG and I cannot find a replacement. I can only find CH & CU.

Any help locating would be great.

Thanks

The paper on the repros is too thin.
I would take the original have a ink stamp made with CG and stamp my own.
They were on manilla or buff stock, you have the original I believe the thickness is approx .030-.035.
Uncoated Milkcarton stock would work well as it has wet strength added.

Speaking of brake booster check valve tags..  I ran across this the other day and can not find what it was used on.  Anyone have any idea.

Dan,

I would take the original have a ink stamp made with CG and stamp my own.

X2. When it came time to replicate the stamp on my wiper motor (see pic below) I created the artwork and had a stamp made by the Stamp Connection (http://www.stamp-connection.com/). Very good people to work with and it cost $10.95 for the stamp. If you need help creating the artwork send me a PM.

James,

They were on manilla or buff stock, you have the original I believe the thickness is approx .030-.035.

I dug up the tag that I purchased years and years ago and it measures .030 but the stock is much more yellow in color than what Dan has posted or what I see being offered by the repro companies. Do you know if the tag is suppose to be white or more yellowish in color?

Thanks,

Bob

I have had the CG tag made by a print shop. I think it looks pretty good.

I assume the 2-letter code denotes the valve and hose as an assembly, but were the differences in the check valve, the vacuum hose, or both?

Was your L78 a power disc or power drum car?

[DDZ28]

Tim, I don't know the answer to your question, maybe someone else will pipe in and let us know.

Darrell, this car is a power drum car.

Thanks.  Just curious what are the plans for the original one?

I think this requires pictures of the car and why so low of miles??

It came apart during dis-assembly.

Attached is a photo of the original, the one I had made and the after market one (right)

Bill, This car sat in a concrete block garage in the woods of WV for 42 years, needless to say it had a bit of rust issues and had to go through a complete restoration.

Personally, as a 'preservationist', I really like the original one...  better than any repro~

The one you had made is obviously way better than the aftermarket one.

Preserve the original, use your repop, and throw the 3rd one away!

Probably a good original car to do. Good luck!
