I'm feeling that I need to lighten the pedal pressure on my 1970 88 Diesel.
My joints aren't getting any younger, long journeys are taking their toll on my right knee.
Brakes are standard 88 type 10" drums all round with a non-servo master cylinder.
So with late 2A wings, I can fit a series three brake servo without cutting away any metalwork., just change the pedal box etc.
I'm in two minds about generating vacuum.
I could get hold of the "butterfly " for the inlet manifold, as fitted to some series three vehicles, along with the pressed steel vacuum tank.
I've heard some negative opinions about this set up, that it can be troublesome and difficult to set up.
My other option would seem to be fitting an alternator with a vacuum pump fitted on the back.
Not sure about the pros and cons of this set up, will it work with the Land Rover type servo ?
