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

If you're LHD there's a front beam in classifieds with the bracket on...

I am going to go down the remote route. No welding to do. Mine is RHD. thanks for the heads up though Deefer.

 

Very sensible. You can put the servo anywhere - in the glovebox if you want ...

 

Looks like the best place to mount it is under the cab floor. I have a rivnut tool so I will look into fitting 4 of those for the bracket. When I get all the stuff and get round to it I will post a How To. Looks pretty straight forward. Just need to get my pipe flaring tool back from my nephew now. Still have a load of Kunfier from replacing all the lines years ago. The suppliers of the remote servos say to use vac hose for the long run but I am wondering if the long run might be better done in a length of copper tube. Will have a think.

 

Vac hose might be easiest. Biggest hassle is getting it out of the engine compartment. I drilled a hose-sized hole on the LHS near the wiring loom hole.

 

That would be a good location, hole and rubber grommet will do a neat job.

 

I am assuming I can just T into the Balance pipe for a vacuum link. I have weber 34 ict's linked by 12mm ID hose.

 

Et voila...

 

Perfect! Cheers Snotty. The green now explains the username

 

Bien joué.

 

Look forward to the 'how to' and an update on 'worth it?' ;-)

I am going to get all the stuff ordered on Friday and then find the time to get the job done. looks like about a day's work to me.

 

Have you got a vacuum take off already?

 

Plume de ma tante !

 

I have a balance pipe fitted to both manifolds for the ICT's will they do the job? Is that not how it is done on Type 4 engines

 

My aunts Feather????? I put it into google translate!

 

You might need something bigger for the servo port. About 1/2" or 13mm.

 

Is it not way cheaper just to fit the bracket and the Brazilian servo ? .

 

That takes all the fun out of having your brake servo in the glove compartment
