Servo assistance for clutch
Martin:
Not finished yet, got a bit delayed over the New Year break.
I got the servo mounted last weekend - spent all of Saturday making the bracket and fitting it (then removing, modifying it and refitting...). Am just waiting now for the last of the hoses/unions/T pieces that I ordered to arrive, should be today or tomorrow. This weekend's job is plumbing it in.
Once I've finished I'll let you know how I got on and will post some pics of the installation.

I( was gonna say, the Audis use a Power Assist system. You should be able to pull everything right of a B4a/B4b (1985 - 98)Audi 90/80/100/Avant) including the pump, cylinders etc.
They are fed from the PAS pump IIRC

Sounds like a nice idea.. Anyone know where to get one from?
Martin:
I think the simplicity of the method I'm using is a big plus point (well it is for me - as its a bit experimental I didn't want to try anything too complicated). Using a remote servo means I only have to split the hydraulic pipe between the existing clutch master and slave cylinders, insert the servo and then get a vacuum connection from the vacuum hose to the brake servo.
I've read that this method has worked on an AC Cobra replica and I'm using the same servo as was used on that. The Cobra had problems with vacuum at idle - you don't get much vacuum at idle from a petrol engine, but at least on a diesel you already have a vacuum pump.
As I said before, once its installed I'll let you know how well it works and will post up pictures and details in case anyone else wants to have a go.

Look forward to hearing your report!
