Just got my hands on a 1980
W200 powerwagon. Old farm truck hasn't been on the road in 15+ years. Previous owner had a rubber strap on the brake pedal to the steering column to help it come back up, and thought the diaphragm in the booster may be toast. Brake effort and brakes work ok but zero pedal return, I drove it home but had to use my foot to pull the pedal back and could feel it release the brakes when I did. Any thoughts of how I can fix this? My experience with bad brake boosters is super hard brake pedal, also can't get find a brake booster anywhere. Called about everyone I can think of. Any input would be appreciated!
