Anyone have any idea where I can get a Brake servo pipe for a Austin Metro 1L 1984? Looked at local scrapie and online and no luck
The metal pipe with the banjo which screws into the manifold?
eBay Item
Do a search on eBay UK for brake servo hose.
Thanks for the replies, the thing is im not really sure how it fits on and work, there is a hole in the servo with a rubber grommit in and the other end is a threaded hold on the inlet manifold?
Anyone?
This is the manifold end with the banjo nut in:
and this is the Servo end, just a hole with rubber grommit:
Does the ebay item posted fit this? and if so what else do I need for it as the Haynes manual shows the servo end with a plastic plug that goes in to
the grommet then a rubber pipe attaches to that

try rimmer bros they are online im sure they will sort you out
Called them, they dont have any and say that there is no chance I can get new ones anymore, thinking of making my own
the steel banjo bit on ebay 121749847605 and might be able to doctor this 381390804591 for the rest

The part that fits into the servo is a one way valve, without the valve you will have problems . I would have thought the valve would be available from suppliers of classic car parts, the banjo fitting from eBay or possibly a hydraulic specialist, you don't need to use a metal pipe just use a length of servo hose DO NUT USE normal hose , it will collapse
Anyone know where I can get that non return valve? If I got eBay item: 381390804591 would it work as it is for a MPI 1998 mini whereas my metro engine
is carb and 1984? I could just ad a one way valve in the line but how would I attach the servo pipe to the servo? Dad also suggested I use a bsp 90
degree taper instead of the banjo, surely this would work?

The servo should not have any pressure, the servo woks on vacuum
So which way would the non return valve go? Also can i use any non return valve or does it have to be specific to gas (air)?

The depression in the inlet manifold draws air out off the servo creating a vacuum ,
Must type quicker

Thanks everyone for that, so go to the scrappys and look for any 1980's/1990's car and it should have a servo pipe on that I can just modify and use on the metro?
James, I may have one such NRV knocking about my lock-up. Will hopefully get it tomorrow.
Also if I cannot find one with a non return valve and so I need to make my own these are the parts I would need:
Plastic barbed elbow connector to go into servo (as posted by rash12 thank you)
Vacuum hose
Non return valve (can any valve be used for this? or does it have to be air specific?)
Banjo Tail (already have banjo bolt)
washers for Banjo

Hi James. This Ford NRV example looks a bit different from the pic posted further back in this thread.

What I referred to as the "noses", are the extensions on either side, on to which the vacuum hose is fitted. Note the smaller dia, compared
to the earlier example. Let me know if you still want this one.
Only have 12mm banjo. Sorry
