Looking to do this on my car for a couple of reasons (greater space on O/S of engine bay and to tidy up a messy bay being the main ones!)

 

What all is involved?  I know to remove all the servo bits, get a non-servo brake master cylinder to connect to the pedal box but is it simply a case of plumbing this up to the bulkhead brake limiter valve as per the servo routing?

Stick the servo under the o/s wing with a remote filter or bolt it under passenger parcel shelf, which is what I used to do.

Thanks but I'm looking to remove the servo altogether rather than relocate it.  I want better pedal feel as part of the removal :)

What year of car (to ensure right size of m/c)?
Might be worth checking with your insurance Co too.

1991, insurance is already aware of brake system changes throughout :)

I'm sure the brake pedal is different well the Mechanism bit been a while from touching a servo
And I'd change the valve at the same time
