Otter LRC CM4647296 comes home

[Jordan Baker]

I suspect that that is exactly what it is. I’ve got some older boxes and they match the same gauge of metal used unlike the modern ones which are noticeably thinner.

[David Dunlop]

Yes. Very likely thinner gauge and fewer cable feed options to keep production costs down today.

Boy...I hope this hobby never reaches the point where we are tearing down old houses to salvage vehicle parts.

Blast from the past - here’s the ad from back when it came on the market after having been stored for a very long time: https://sites.google.com/site/elalameineu/otter

Great find Hanno.

I removed the remaining parts of the brake booster to check them over. Hopefully the missing parts can be found or an entire unit.

A couple of names that might help in your search. The system started with a company called Bragg Kliesrath (names of the founders) and I think it was either bought by Bendix or Bendix bought rights to produce the booster system as their BK (as in Bragg Kliesrath) series. Note the part number on your cast end plate is BK22289.
One source for repair parts and service used to be Classic and Exotic but their website seems dead this morning.
If I don't add more information within a week or two, please PM or email me to remind me as I'm sure I should have or be able to find information to help. In the meantime, I'm sure there have been past threads on the CMP boosters, just need to find them....

.

Or is it BK322289? There is a small 3 cast in there.

[Grant Bowker]

I see the small 3 now. Interesting the difference in size. Either way, I'm not yet finding it in a BK parts list I have. That parts list has a lot more 5 digit part numbers than 6 digit.
