servo assisted brakes

Do you need servo assistance on a BEC? where would you connect the vacuum hose to if you were to fit a servo?

Not usually, no.
The car's so light it's not required.

Yup, no need at all on such a light car, all it will do is severely dull the braking feel.

I'm using the Sierra master without servo. When I first put it on the road the pedal was a bit heavy with some premature locking of the fronts.

However, now the new pads and shoes have 'bedded in' the brakes are near perfect - much less pedal pressure required, no problems with balance.

In a nutshell - No Servo Required.
