Re: Power brake booster color

I think the brackets are supposed to be black...not 100% sure though.

I have a Bendix booster on my truck, painted black, so I painted the brackets gold cad to contrast. I think it looks fantastic, but not sure if it is "correct" or not.

Others will chime in to confirm or deny this.
