Yet another very happy bunny!
Well, after a number of delays and a couple of maintanance repairs on the way, my servo is finally in and the car driven today at last. WOW! I now have the brakes that I thought I should have had all along! I have a 23mm dia master cylinder but, much the same as other’s posts, braking is progressive and the car really feels as though it is going to stop. Pedal travel is now longer but the effort required is much reduced and stopping distance seems unbelievably short. Even with heavy braking there is no sign of any tendency to lock up unexpectedly. A slight pull to one side means a bit more bleeding is required before attempting a full “lock up the wheels” test. I also want to see how the braking behaves on a wet surface as I suspect everyone so far has tried the servo out on dry roads?
So a really big thank you to Mike and Jason for making this upgrade possible and for the benefit of so many owners too. Peter.
