With dual circuit brakes you need two remote servos, really isn't a good idea.
What size bore master cylinder are you using, smaller bore equals less pedal pressure required ?
another easy way of reducing pedal pressure is to use green stuff pads.

the best remote booster i know is the Gym, and build up the old leg muscles.

You source of a decent single circuit Lockheed remote servo you might find in SA is the old Rootes/Chrysler UK Arrow range the Hillman/Sunbeam Hunter
was sold in SA with a Peugeot engine (also as the Dodge Husky pickup but that might not have the servo).
Incidentally the rear axle from these is very suitable for book Locost building.
