The intensifier housing has a fastening element with ring groove. The ring groove (5) contains a holder part (8). This is radially compressed, when the element is inserted into an opening in the splashboard. When the intensifier (1) is installed, the holder part acts with a conical surface on the side of the splashboard away from the intensifier. The conical surface merges into a ring surface, which is at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the opening. The holder part has a circular profile, and its part acting with the conical surface, is convex. USE/ADVANTAGE - Fastening arrangement for brake force intensifier requires reduced number of individual parts for fastening, simplified and more economical fastening.
