A Honda 600 brake servo is a vacuum chamber with hydraulic cylinder
attached. They are mounted remotely from the brake master cylinder.
They have a breather on the top or bottom (3 different types) and I
can't see any reason it would matter in which position they are
mounted. Alot of mini cooper people try to buy them from me for their
cars. I don't sell them because I only have just enough parts to
service my Honda 600 customers.
Alot of other Japanese cars use a booster which is mounted directly to
the master cylinder. Would that get in the way of the hood or motor?
Just an idea as a retrofit item.
