RX2 Brake Booster Options?

I have a 72 RX2 that the Vacuum booster is dead on. What is the best/easiest option to replacing this without major customizing? As you may know they dont sell them anymore at all and most of the used ones are bad too.

Thanks
J

Gotcha Ive checked a few places for rebuilds and they are around $150 for just a rebuild. That might be my option.

Wacky, I just saw that you said a RX4 booster would work, are these still available from parts dealers? If so which ones?

Thanks

Yeah, Wacky ain't going to need it because you don't need brakes when you don't drive your car.
