fitting servo to early bay

[VeeDubMan]

They're a bit pricey from Creative. There are loads on ebay all the time. Take a look at http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_...=Remote+Brake+Servo&_sacat=See-All-Categories or search for things like "Remote Brake Servo", "Mini Remote Servo", "MGB Remote Servo" etc.

Good luck.

Ha! Beat me to it

Ok, thanks guys, I was probably searching for the wrong thing! Aewsome, looking forward to less brown trouser moments at the traffic lights!

 

[Airtime]

This does look interesting! I have almost all the stuff complete to swap my early drums for late discs and drums. I really didn't know what to do with the brake servo. This is great!

 

[dubdubz]

this won't work on a x-over then - I have a 72 mix and match - how do I find if the remote servo will integrate into my sys?

 

[Airtime]

@ Stuart: Have you fitted a brake pressure regulator (or proportional valve) to your system?

 

[Airtime]

Can anyone tell me which boost ratio I should go for? Or perhaps tell me the boost ratio of an original bus servo.

 

[stuartrx7]

Hi airtime i have no proportional valve and every thing works fine, as i said before i tested it on an M.O.T brake testing rollers.The servo i used was 1.9:1 ratio.

Great! Thanks a lot mate. I now know which one to order. 8)

Read this a while ago but forgot my user details so had to register again.

What pipes do you need for this set up and how does it connect to the master cylinder?

Am I being really thick here?

 

[Eugene68]

Any thoughts?

Quite anxious to do this when I get my discs on.

 

[AxlFoley]

Just a thought, where is your master cilinder at the moment? is it behind the beam?

 

[Eugene68]

In front.

Stuart, I'm keen to understand the plumbing - I get it's dual cct but is the brake boost only on the front?
it's late and I'm getting confused probably....I think my std ate booster is dead and so this maybe a better option?

Take a look at http://www.nsra.org.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13193 for some plumbing pics.

 

[dubdubz]

I've seen that before thanks ....on further inspection my bus has the valves and appears to be like a late update - when I get a chance I'm sorting my pics out and will post on the several I'll get pics up soon threads I've let down to date! :lol:

 

[vwjim]

Is the servo just operating on the discs btw?

Do you guys just boost the front circuit, or route the servo to front and rear and make the system single circuit?

 

[adamski]

So I am finally getting my brakes sorted to a nice porsche disc set-up. It would be silly to not add a servo.

I looked at the creative option (the remote servo) and it is nearly £300

This one is about £90:

Any recent stories of if this is suitable?

 

[dubdubz]

I'm typing from the hip so to speak but isn't this single cct?
