Slim,
The VH44 is noticably smaller than the VH40.
They should also have a small I.D. label stating type & Serial No which is on the same side as the hydraulic cylinder.
The VH44 is actually designed for drum brakes and the VH40 is for discs.

Mike....Mark again from Manji !
Might be easier to source the wreckers for a crappy old VH40 / VH44 real cheap, then take it to PERTH BRAKE PARTS in Welshpool and buy and exchange unit.
I did this the other week, and they kindly swapped a recon VH40 for my crappy old VH44...for just $180 odd !
The booster is practically as new from the factory, albeit paitned black........I was very happy !
Just an idea !
Cheers
Mark

Well..... I didn't pay retail due to family connections  but I believe they are worth ~ $470. Brake Parts Australia still make them - check their web site for contact details: http://www.bpa.com.au/ Another post suggests a price for a new VH40: I'm looking for a VH40 brake booster to fit to an EH for an HR disc front end. Repco want $582 for a new one Regards, Trevor_B |

That's what I thought......my theory stands.......trya nd find the cheapest old unit you can ( for exchange purporses only ), and buy and exchange unit.....less than half the price !
Cheers

Slim, Couple of pics to show you the size difference. The body of the VH40 is ~225mm diameter while the VH44 (the black one) is ~180mm diameter.  VH44 installed in my FC + old VH40 above  VH44 installed in my FC  VH40 Trevor_B |
