The desire to fit a servo to our cars really is one of personal choice I think.
Because of there light weight and reasonably powerful brakes, they can be stopped without any power assistance. Many larger and heavier cars need power assistance by way of a servo, for the average person to be able to stop them as one just can't get enough pressure on to the pedal, no matter how far the wrap the steering wheel around their ears, to develop enough hydraulic pressure in to the system to stop the vehicle.
So, for the most part, I'd say it come down to personal choice if one would like a harder or softer pedal.
Personally, I actually don't mind the softer feel of servoed brakes, but I don't fit them as I bemoan the real estate they take up.
New to the forum so please bear with me
I am planning to upgrade my front drums to 7.5" discs so i can keep it on 10's ( if anyone has a set ide be interested )
Ive been reading about issues and remedies when fitting with a dual line brake system , adding tees and rear brake valves etc
Has anyone tried blanking the rear port on the master and running the servo off the front port , then a tee to the brakes as if a single line system
Surely that would be better than having rears un assisted ,
Thoughts ?
Granted, it's an old thread, but why would one do this ?
Step back and look at the bigger picture. Just swap out the Tandem Master for a Single. There'll be less rubber in the system, so less to go wrong and a better pedal feel.
