In-Line Brake Servo Kit

Anyone ever fitted one of theses?

Moss Europe, Ltd - Classic Parts for Classic, MX-5, MGF, Mini, MGB

and if so are they any good?

Chum of mine had something very similar on his 109, think the origins were possibly ex-spitfire (triumph not supermarine!) or herald or something like that. seemed to work OK although I have driven it and don't remember it being terrific. I do remember his brakes being a nightmare to bleed though.

Ive seen some on ebay for £89.00 any good. looks the same as Moss.

They were a common fitment before servo dual line brakes. fitted to mgb , cooper s etc they were also standard fitment on forward control land rovers . 6cyl not sure on the diesel variant . they work ok although dont expect servo disc brake stopping power.

only thing that a servo does is to lessen the pressure required on the brake pedal to move the fluid along the pipes, aftermarket servos are normally 1 = 4 ratio

Maybe you could adapt a brake ballance bar and run 2 brake master cylinders, one for front and one for rear. As fitted to the Marcos cars. You can adjust the brack ballance force front to rear. Try merlin motor sport.

Clivees it would help to get the best solution to what you are trying to do if you mentioned it in your post .

If its your brakes are OK for what you are doing and you just want to reduce pedal effort then the inline servo will do the job .

If its increased brake performance, i.e. non fade stopping from speed then it wont on its own achieve this .

other possibles require more info HTSH

Aye
I know but i was just wondering about upgrading my breaks to a dule system and i was thinking about what else i could do at the same time.

don't think those inline servos are for duel systems - think they're single systems only

In view of what you have answered then the best way is to use the brake system components from a later model.

I fitted a V8 to an 88 I needed a lot better braking system than the standard in view of the extra (considerable) performance.
I fitted the whole brake system from a 6cyl series111 , 11 '' twin leading shoe front wide version, 11 inch rear drums new bmc, hoses etc. the brakes turned out to be almost more than adequate.

Aye just kicking around all the options.
Got a set of 11" drums, just havent fitted them.
Also thinking of rocky disks.
But my breaks are currently working ok or will be when i get them set up again.
