I just got a power brake booster. Everything fits fine but, it seems like I need a really thick spacer between the booster and the firewall. Can anyone tell me where I can get this spacer. I've seen it in picture from other 510 with but where can I get one? Any help is greatly appeciated.

I honestly have no idea what your talking about, I take ti that you have a 510, and you bought a new master and the old one was already missing along with said spacer? .....this sound about right?junkyards, ebay, 510 specialty suppliers

most boosters will need a spacer in a 510.you should have got the spacer with the booster when you bought it.most 510's didnt come factory with boosters, only JDM SSS.the booster I got in my 510 is from a 180B ( think its a 810 in america? ), I got the booster, and spacer from there.

The booster I bought came from a b210 and there was no spacer or brackets included. Do they sell these thing seperately? How can I get one?

does who sell them seperately?they are a factory part, not aftermarket.so you'll just have to seach around wreckers/pick-a-part's and find one.Or, just custom make one

I have a 510 and said spacer. Unfortunately even though my booster went out a year ago (I just plugged the vacuum hose to it and it works like non-power brakes now) I can't remove the spacer and booster and just put the master cylinder up to the firewall. The hole required for the spacer and booster make it a point of no return. I do not know where to get the spacer from but give me a buzz in a couple weeks and I might just send it to you (my car is dying rapidly).
