Hello there,
The Girling Brake servo was used on the Amazons (as an option) and on 1800S.
They do appear no ebay every now and then, but most often are not useable.
They have 2 problems:
- the aluminum housing deteriorates, as the aluminum used there reacts with
brake fluid - this means the servo begins to leak and in turn leaks fluid.
- the servo boost (the metal can) does not hold pressure due to
deteriorating seal.
All replacements (PBR, Lockheed, the Taiwan Lockheed copy currently sold)
replace the unit, but do remember that their characteristic is not the same
as original Girling.
I do know there is a company in Sweden who plans to try to reproduce the
original Girling. If I know anything further I will let you know.
Best, Tadek
