Hydroboost replacement question

[paoutdoorsman]

For those who have replaced the hydroboost unit; is a new gasket between the firewall and hydroboost needed or does the original tend to be re-usable? I have a new hydroboost here to install, but neglected to think about ordering a gasket.

I've always used the original gasket. I wouldn't worry about it

I wasn't sure if it was rubberish and reusable, and paper that would be destroyed with removal.

Also, is there a gasket between the master cylinder and hydroboost unit?

 

[ryan415]

If I remember correctly its just a small piece of foam and there is no gasket between the master and booster

On some gm rebuilt hydroboost units, the builders fail to include the important push rod and retainer clip for proper operation located at the front of h/boost- you have no pedal without this pushrod! If it's missing,you will have to transfer it from oem unit.
