Hello Jack,
The Lockheed 7 inch free standing servo has the one way non return valve
fitted into the vacuum chamber during assembly, it will be already in the
new servo when you take delivery of it, it is in white plastic/nylon that
you attach the vacuum pipe from the inlet manifold into.
The BJ8 Girling servo had a alloy one way valve that was screwed into the
main valve chest body.[ Not obtainable anymore ].
Hope this information helps.
Regards.
David.

Subject: Check valve
Friends,
I recently ordered a number of parts with a European continental supplier,
among which a new Lockheed Brake servo. The servo is in backorder, but
among the parts which I already received I found a check valve/non-return
valve which apparently is meant to be fitted between two hoses. I never
ordered this item, but I have vague memories about such a valve being used
somewhere in a Girling system. Question: should I return the part as I
never ordered it, or keep it as I apparently omitted to order this one
together with the new servo?
Thanks, as usual
