Hydroboost leak

[mike505]

I have an 84 1-ton and the hydroboost has developed a leak where the 2 halves bolt together. This isn't at the firewall but out on the unit itself. I've searched but there doesn't seem to be gaskets available for this. Looks like something that can be replaced. I really don't want to buy a whole unit over this but it's leaking pretty bad.

Maybe make a gasket? I've search here and on a couple other forums but all I find is people replacing them. Seems pretty extreme over a gasket.


Ideas or opinions please. Thanks.

Mike

hey mike,you can make a gasket easy the millwrights and pipefitters at work in the pulp mill do it all the time.just trace it and cut it out.just don't know where you can buy the material.

3 hours and $250 later is your solution.

This is what I was hoping somebody would say. Seems like something that could be done. Just didn't know if there was a reason nobody does.

Thanks.
