    Kanter (800-526-1096) has the rebuild kits for the treadle vac, $69. Also, a fellow in Florida rebuilds them. I can look up his number if interested.

    I'd HIGHLY recommend dumping the Treadle Vac and putting something else in there that won't fail without warning. The BTV is the most unsafe part ever put on a car, bar none.

    Kinda wierd. Have had great service on my treadle vac on my Hudson Hornet with the Packard v8. Maybe because of the way its set up on the Packard.

    Those that have problems are the ones that do not replace the fluid every 3 years. This is a must as brake fluid picks up moisture. I have 139,000 miles on my car and have yet to replace any brake parts. Third set of shoes so far. Walt.
