You can just make out the servo fitted, strangely my beam has 2 brackets :shock:

 

[AxlFoley]

nice one, the two brackets must be in case you want your pasenger to have one, my misses loves stomping on the passenger foot well lol

Am i correct in thinking the pedal is also different?

Actually as I discovered the beam was originally from a LHD bus and fitted to my RHD, an extra bracket was fitted to take the servo, if you look carefully its been welded on pi**ed and the servo is at an angle :evil: this rendered it pretty useless.
It has since been fitted correctly and the brakes work perfectly.

Like the idea of an extra brake for the missus though

..................there are two different mounting bolt arrangements I think as different servos were used at different times......

awsome brakes...he he he he :wink:

I love my servo brakes 8)

I have done a bit more research on this, and it seems that due to the pedal assembly setup being different to the later bays I will not be able to retro fit a VAG servo, I will therefore need a remote servo, it may still be a good idea to fit a bracket like this as I will be able to mount the remote servo on it. Possibly??

I am trying to get as much info as I can on this as I would like to write a FAQ on fitting Porsche 944 disk brakes with a servo to an early bay, as that is what I am planning on doing.

Is it me or are early bay owners raping lots of 944's and 1303s for parts??

... let us know mate if ya still want the bracket and i'll try my best to get it off in one piece! ..
