Hi all, just purchased a remote servo but don't know how to plumb it in. I've read mixed reviews how to do so.

Do I put a single line master cylinder in, plumbed into the servo, then on to the bias valve on the bulkhead, to get better pressure to all of the brakes, or...

Stick with my existing master, fronts plumbed to the servo, and keep the backs as they are?

Thanks in advance.

I personally prefer no servo and single line, like me its simple

 

If you go single line, the servo can go next in line before the front / rear T

 

Has your  'bais valve'  on the bulkhead got 4 pipes  ?

 

If so its the FAMWTF valve on the bulk head and needs binning they are an unknown un-testable piece of crap...

 

Then you need a brake bias valve for the rear to replace the T you probably have on the rear subframe.

 

You can then use the standard brake bias valve mounted on the rear subframe, simples

 

I do a kit with the bias valve and two adaptors to replace the FAMWTF valve for twin master cylinders

Yes, the bias valve has 4 pipes.

Okay, will do, thanks.

Got a link to your kit?

Be aware that dual circuit brakes are a C&U requirement if your car is later than '76.

 

You can servo just the front circuit, Innocenti did.

Would I be able to use my existing master cylinder, fed to the servo for the fronts, and add a bias valve for the rear?
