On 10in drums and thinking of upgrading to 12in wheels and discs but my 1980 min has no servo. Can the combined servo/brake master cylinder from later cars be fitted to my mini? Will have to replace the manifold as well unless someone tells me that I can still stop the car without a servo. Does the brake pedal assembly also have to be changed?
Servo Fitting?

Servos do not improve the brakes at all, they just make the pedal lighter and the Servo in a Mini doesn't do much of that! The regular Mini was fitted with disc brakes as standard from 1984 and didn't get a servo until 1989, the cars made in those five years stop just as well as any others! If you really want to fit one it can be done quite easily and has been described here a few times.
