I've just completed a historic rally in the Peak District, with the only issue being a brake servo failure. Alarming at the time, but quickly bypassed getting the car back on the road to complete the event and drive 200 miles home. I have a 1962 IIIa (with 1725 engine fitted,) and am wondering if the car would have had a brake servo originally? There doesn't seem a huge difference in brake performance without it, so perhaps the servo wasn't operating properly before it failed? Does anyone else have any views on brake performance with or without boost? |

Thanks for the Past Parts contact. The servo on the car has been added at some stage, so I think I'll get it working and test before deciding if it is necessary.
304 RYB was Nick Smith's car, but has been based in Jim Clark country for a few years, with a former Scottish Rally winner (in a Rapier)
Now based in Wiltshire and still going strong. |

Hi Bill
it is possible to plumb the servo out of the system (not sure if your car had one originally)
may be worth having yours overhauled these guys did mine
