'Beamers,
I saw a link to a company that is in the hydraulics stainless steel
sleeving business. I wrote for a reply on our own Girling issues,
including the servo. I did get back the reply, and am forwarding to the
list for those who may need this service. The information about that
servo piston rod seal fix is of particular interest, because this is
where the MkIIA servo's go bad so often. Notice your hydraulic level
dropping?
Anyway, his e-mail address is:
Ronald Karp <karps@eee.org>
And he is located in Southern California.
Personally, I have not had experience with his work, but he seems to
understand our design, have reasonable prices, and will do the work.
For what it's worth.
Steve

Steve,
Yes we can resleeve your aluminum and cast iron master cylinders with 304
stainless. The cost is $45.00 per sleeve. We do rebuild the Girling
servos. The price is $50.00 labor plus sleeving and kit.. We rebuild all
four models, diaphragm and piston types. We have been using Girling kits
only. I purchase them overseas because I can't find any more in the US. If
you have anyone who can supply Lucas parts we would be interested. We can
do the step board aluminum cylinders but they can get expensive if you do
all three bores. We have been putting sleeves in the area for the shaft
seal. It seems to tighten up the seal and makes it tighter than original,
but not tight enough to hold the shaft from returning. That is a weak area
on those servos. Chroming the shaft runs about $50.00. Most of the time
the shaft does not need to be chromed if we put the sleeve and shrink the
seal.
Ron
