Juan or anyone who may want . I have two brake boosters from a Rover 2000
Tc. I am sure they are made by Lockeed. They are the remote type as are the
ALPINE. I have been told one of the boosters has beem rebuilt not sure of
the other. I am willing to sell or trade Alpine parts for these boosters.
I have a Series I but do not need any engine or trans parts since my
project has a Ford V-6 and 5-speed. If anyone is interested please contact
by E-mail. Thanks T.C.
