Removing the brake servo. Sierra I think.

Mine is still mounted but not used. This is stopping me getting the clutch MS close enough to the pivot point of the pedal to get a sensible clutch feel. What is involved in removing it if its possible? I have a MK3 first cylinder to fit too.

fixing bolt centers are close but not quite there....
you will need to make a pushrod .... bit of 10 or 12mm studding will do





I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

but this jacket makes it impossible.

I removed the servo mounts on the bulkhead back to a flat surface. Then cut off the front of the servo and
welded it to the bulkhead, I had to cut a large hole to clear the indent in the servo and made a new pushrod
from a piece of 10mm round bar.

Can take a pic of the finished setup tomorrow.
I had to use the grinder to cut open the servo, there's nothing sinister inside, just
Springs and a
big rubber diaphragm.
