So I ordered a Pelican Parts TRW Brake Booster to replace my heavily rusted out unit. Upon completing the install, which wasn't all that easy; wasn't all that hard. I find that the part is slightly different and thus is allowing air into the master cylinder. Sooo.. do I continue to use that (there is a small gap between where the rubber stretchy housing ends and the firewall) or do I get the proper replacement. The rubber stretchy thing that covers the actual brake pedal and it's brake booster counterpart is simply not long enough. Is there another device I can use to ensure that no air gets in? Do I need to take a picture to clarify all of this?

Frustrated.
