servo brakes

(1/2) > >>

goody:
Hi, am I right in thinking that to convert my series3 to servo brakes would involve no more than going to my spares supplier asking for a new servo/master cylinder some new brakepipe and fittings and then spending the best part of a day (maybe two) laying on my back under landy getting covered in oil. I plan to do this at the same time as converting to a prima engine so would have a feed for the servo.
Cheers.

MADMAN:
Hi
to fit a servo you will require a complete pedal box assembly from a series vehicle with servo brakes as the none servo pedal box will not take a servo
There are two on Ebay  now!
if you go for a single circuit master cylinder make sure it has the pipe fittings with it as they can be hard to track down
if you go for a dual circuit master cylinder  you will also require a shuttle valve to shut off the front or rear circuit in the event of a failier
also will you be using the dudliegh conversion plate to fit the prima engine or making your own?
please let me know how you get on with fitting this engine!
Regards Madman

Thanks Madman, Looked on ebay but didnt see any pedal boxes , is that what they were described as? I was hoping to find one of the adapters secondhand but I reckon if one comes up on e-bay it will fetch top money and I'm not really looking forward to spending the best part of £500 to get a new one plus mounts from dudleigh, there is a bloke in surrey making them a bit cheaper than dudleigh so I might try him if i've found nothing when the time comes to do it.  I'm not looking forward to telling the wife how much they are costing as I only paid £141 for the  maestro (110k on the clock)
Cheers Goody.

I have the complete set of bits, including swivels, housing, servo, pedal etc...

trouble is it's miles away ..

make me an offer, you know you want to ;)

goody:
Where abouts is miles away exactly, what sort of offers are you looking at, although my swivels are knackered why would I need them to add servo brakes?
Cheers, Goody.
