I just tried to answer your latest email and it bounced again. I used the address that you mentioned in your email. Here is the message I tried to send:
I do not have a source for the check valve and steel tubing for the boosters. I have been lucky enough to find good used parts which can be refurbished and reused. The steel tubing could be purchased new and bent to shape if you had an unusable tube for a pattern. There are two different lengths of tubes used depending on where you mount the booster. The first location is directly below the drivers side floor board. This was the original location that was used. It will not allow a tail shaft PTO set up as the booster will hit the tail shaft. The second location was behind the cab on the left side. This will allow the installation of a tail shaft assembly. (Of course all units mounted to the frame rails.) There were different model boosters used over the years and the 1967 & 1968 WM300's used two boosters since these year models had dual circuit master cylinders. All of the '67's & '68's that I have seen have the boosters mounted behind the cab. If you get desperate, maybe I can help make a booster tube for you or attempt to make a drawing showing the bends, etc. It would be difficult to ship one to you though. I would think that one could be made from copper tubing quite easily. The copper tubing, while not original, would be much easier to work with and since there is low vacuum instead of high pressure would work just fine.
Let me know if I can help.
