Not bad for 90$

Managed to score a WJ booster/MC and all four front control arms yesterday! Guy wanted 125 but I talked him down to 90 because I was pulling them myself :D all of the bushings seem be good with some little cracks and one slightly less little crack on one bushing (not sure if I'll change them or not yet) but otherwise in great condition. Only thing is that the BB/MC didnt have the firewall spacer, but I will just use washer when it comes down to it. Next on my list is ZJ gearbox and rear disks or piecing together a Super44 muffler with a Walker tailpipe.

The WJ Booster doesn't come with a spacer from the factory. I had to use washers to space it mainly because the booster doesn't sit flush with the firewall on my 88 because the brake bracket covers part of the hole and/or the hole for the booster center section isn't quite big enough.  In any case, good haul for 90 bucks!

You are thinking of the booster from the ZJ and 95+ XJ, which has a longer rod length distance from the back of the booster to the hole where the pedal bolts to the rod.  The WJ and our stock boosters are actually close to the same length in that measure.

It hangs up at the hole where the rod goes through, the very end of that center section that the rubber boot covers won't go through the hole.  I measured the stock one and the WJ, and the WJ is larger by roughly 1/4-1/3 inch.

It does make it a bit easier as you can re-use the fittings (or get new ones) going into the distribution block.  I simply cut off the bubble flare end that was going to go into said block, put the fitting from the block on said line, and double flared the end.   I Gently persuaded the lines and bends into shapes that worked for my install, and cut them to length as needed.  Not difficult, but it took the most time for me.  The rest of it was pretty straight forward.

Yup.
