Greg,
You can still drive it if you plug the vacuum line with a bolt...3/8 inch I
think. The braking will be a bit more difficult but the brakes will still
stop you the same. I had a servo go out at as I pulled into the parking lot
at VTR 2000 in Portland but someone convinced me that it was still driveable
and it was as I autocrossed without the servo and drove back to Denver with no
problems. I actually got to like the feel of the brakes without the servo but
I still got it rebuilt and put back on anyhow. The place in Ohio where I got
it rebuilt doesn't do them anymore so can't help with a resource.

Subject: [TR] Dead brake servo
Fellow listers,
Today while out driving my '71 TR6 my brake servo failed. It appears to
be a vacuum leak in the main diaphragm that only shows up when I step on
the brake pedal. Needless to say, braking effort is now much higher.
As this is my daily driver, I need to get it taken care of right away.
Who is currently rebuilding brake servos? I'm looking specifically for
someone who can sell me a rebuilt one right away, and then I'll send
back the core after I do the R&R.
Many thanks,
Greg B
