A few years ago, several Healey owners here installed PBR VH40 boosters =
in our BJ8=E2=80=99s.  We sourced them at:

http://www.hydroboost.com.au/prices.htm

in Australia.  I learned some interesting things in the process =
=E2=80=93 the important one is that the VH40 booster is made in several =
different versions with different boost ratios.  It means that you have =
to be sure that the one you buy has a matching boost ratio as the =
original Girling for it to work properly in your BJ8.  (the earlier =
Healeys that had optional boosters installed would use a VH44 that would =
match the earlier smaller Girling).

These boosters are diaphragm units, which means that a vacuum loss will =
lock the brakes on =E2=80=93 sometimes not the best scenario! =E2=80=93 =
ask me how I know about this.  Turns out that there were some defective =
small rubber elbow hoses =E2=80=93 the one that connects the two =
sections of the unit.  They were split on installation at the factory.  =
The fix was easy =E2=80=93 shorten the steel pipe leading up to the =
valve body and use a length of quality vacuum hose and a couple of hose =
clamps.

We have found the PBR VH40 to be an excellent replacement for the =
original Girling =E2=80=93 I=E2=80=99m told that it=E2=80=99s getting =
increasingly difficult to find quality rebuild kits for the Girling.  So =
in the interests of safety, a replacement booster is preferable in most =
respects.

The above web-site will answer quite a few questions for you.  We had =
mounting bracket kits and pre-bent brake pipes sent with the boosters =
=E2=80=93 the brackets were Kilmartin pieces at the time.  So basically =
the whole thing was a bolt in proposition.  A slightly longer (about 4 =
inches) vacuum hose is required to connect the booster to the manifold.

Incidentally, the PBR booster has a bleed screw right on it, which makes =
things a bit easier when bleeding the system.

I am happy with the braking feel of my BJ8 with the PBR booster =
installed.  I=E2=80=99m pretty sure that they can be sourced in North =
America.

Hi, have a friend needing to replace a BJ8 brake servo (booster).=20

Suggestions and sources needed.=20

I have PBR (VH40, I believe) on my BJ8 and happy with that for 7-8 =
years. Are these still available? Where?

I have a feeling that my PBR booster, which I installed a number of years a=
go, was not the same ratio as my old Girling.The Girling had given up, and =
had multiple problems, but I clearly remember that back when it was working=
 it had a much more satisfying "bite"- less effort than the PBR.

                          few years ago, several Healey owners here

                          Australia.  I learned some interesting things
                          in the process – the important one is that the
                          VH40 booster is made in several different
                          versions with different boost ratios.  It
                          means that you have to be sure that the one
                          you buy has a matching boost ratio as the
                          original Girling for it to work properly in
                          your BJ8.  (the earlier Healeys that had
                          optional boosters installed would use a VH44
                          that would match the earlier smaller Girling).</div>

                          boosters are diaphragm units, which means that
                          a vacuum loss will lock the brakes on –
                          sometimes not the best scenario! – ask me how
                          I know about this.  Turns out that there were
                          some defective small rubber elbow hoses – the
                          one that connects the two sections of the
                          unit.  They were split on installation at the
                          factory.  The fix was easy – shorten the steel
                          pipe leading up to the valve body and use a
                          length of quality vacuum hose and a couple of

                          to find quality rebuild kits for the Girling.

                          kits and pre-bent brake pipes sent with the
                          boosters – the brackets were Kilmartin pieces
                          at the time.  So basically the whole thing was
                          a bolt in proposition.  A slightly longer
                          (about 4 inches) vacuum hose is required to
                          connect the booster to the manifold.</div>

                        <div>Incidentally, the PBR booster has a bleed
                          screw right on it, which makes things a bit
