New or Very Good Brake Bomb?

I sold my 'autotragic' '80 E12 to my mechanic Bob. He's now looking for a brake bomb.
Does anyone know where I can find one? This would be a feather in my cap.
It doesn't have to be brand new but,,,maybe.
It's not my money! :roll:

Brake bomb? Pressure accumulator? They didn't start until E28s on 5 series cars. You mean one of these?

Thanx, Mike.
I believe he said brake bomb? I'll get him to show me what he means.

Ok Guys:
My mechanic, who is Bob, showed me the brake drum by the windshield on the engine wall.
Not the one you pictured Mike.
Thanx for responding,,,,Greg

I just located a brake booster from autopartswarehouse.com!
With instructions & installation parts for $169 rebuilt by A1 Cardone?
I think there's a guarantee too!
Bob said that's cheap? He has his business parts suppliers but, they, I guess didn't have it.
I ran into that way back before I introduced him to computers, about 5-6 yrs. ago!
Can you imagine running a thriving shop w/o a computer?? :roll:
They are ole skool & I like that!
Well, I talked about him sooo bad that he tried it & now of course, they're hooked!
I've stopped in while they were at lunch to see them on different websites! :o

Thanx for trying to rescue us Mike,,,,Greg :wink:
