Has anyone fitted a remote servo to a 72-74 bay?

As above really. Looking to make the bus drivable for my wife. Looking into a servo but no plate on my beam.

Has anyone fitted a remote servo? Saw Car SOS do it on an old Alfa Gulietta.

Cheers.

 

You could have a plate welded onto the beam and use VW's intended one.... Although I hear aligning them is a tricky operation

I am thinking this but I would need to source the bracket.

is there a How To out there?

 

Remote servos are fine things...but you need to find one with a dual-circuit cylinder on. The ones in your link are only single circuit.

There is a company that sells one - can't remember who, they're about £300, as I recall.

 

Cheers Snotty. I will get to google. By the time I have sourced a servo, new master cylinder paid for welding and all the gubbins it wont be far off £300.

 

Zed ....(remember him ) had some Brazilian hole center brackets made up ... you could track him down over on blunderpussies.com

Is Zedders not about on here any more?

 

I was tempted, but it was a bit pricey. Remote servos are a lot less hassle.

Looks promising. It's 2:1, which is about what the Bay servo is.

 

Super. I'm tempted again...

 

Wow. He is charging £100 for all the little bits and pieces. convenient though.

Just for info guys. If you order all the bits from Car builder solutions it is £71.00 cheaper.

 

The kit comes in at £402 plus £28.00 delivery ( ouch!) that is expensive delivery. £359 from car builder solutions. (free delivery)
