Which type of Servo?

 

also, moving this to the techie section - but welcome to the forum 

[sledgehammer]

what type of servo ? (^^^edit beaten to it)

 

is it one fixed to the brake pedal 

 

or a remote type ?

 

you may have problems with the remote servo system on the later dual circuit ? as it is for single ?

(IIRC - memory not what it used to be)

hi and thanks to u all, i have change the pedal box so its connected direct to the pedal, i was going to change the master cylinder seals ?? 

[sledgehammer]

I bled mine from the master cyl direct , till I got a smooth flow of fluid , then I went to the calipers

 

it was a git to start - kept getting a soft pedal , when I tried bleeding from caliper first

 

hope this helps

ok cool , so the first connection on the master cylinder does the front or rear brakes ?  i got a pressure bleeder today and i still have the air in the mater cylinder and thanks for your help mate

sorry I can't remember which is which - was over a year ago

It shouldn't matter which way round you connect it as they are both the same size. It can matter how you bleed it though as that will affect the operation of the limiter valve.

 

The convention seems to be to use the outlet nearest the servo can for  the front brake line, which runs in a straight line through the limiter valve
