Brake Servo repair

[Rubce]

Hi All
R
I started up the resto today and went for a drive in it for the first time. The brake servo is not functioning. Rimmers and Paddocks only seem to list new Lockhead servos. At the moment I am unsure whether our car has a Lockhead or an original Girling type fitted. Can both types be repaired? Can't seem them listed on the TD Fitchetts site.

Canleys list a SP2231     SERVICE KIT POWERSTOP SERVO MK11A. Anybody got experience of that kit? I am unsure whether it is for a Lockhead or a Girling.

Thanks

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

looking at the pictures of your restauration, i would say you've got a lockheed system on your car.

Cheers,

Powerstop is the Girling version.

Looks like this, I'll post a picture of the Lockhead version in a sec

And this is the Lockheed version.


Yes I've had both types fitted to my car over the years!

The Original Girling one was going to cost more to fix than a replacement Lockheed one and the Lockheed one is superior as it's a higher boost ratio so it was a no brainer for me to swap over to the more modern Lockheed servo.

Having just had a Girling professionally rebuilt, i can confirm that comment.

Nice little company to deal with though.
