I believe I used a 1/2 " bolt and a hose clamp. I can double check in the morning when I get off.

Hey there! Having same problem with my booster I've plugged it in the mean time like yall talked about. It still bogs down quite a bit. Is that normal? I do plan to replace it. The hissing has stopped with the bolt plugging the hose though.

after I plugged mine I had zero noise from anywhere and zero engine issues. The brakes took a little more force than normal to apply

Hmm I might have a different leak, I'll look into it.

Although, no more hissing! Even better my right leg is going to look real good all toned from manually braking. :lol:
