/3rd...I am currently rebuilding both carbs (CD150's) and need to replace 
/the throttle shaft seals.
/Are there any tricks to getting the old ones out and putting the new 
/ones in ?  Any opinions on who
/has the best quality/price for the new ones ?

It's best to send these out to have the shafts rebushed.  Apple 
hydraulics, TRF and others do this for about $40-50.  Also, be sure to 
check the needles and seats (jets).  If they are worn, the mixture will 
be un-adjustable.  Look for ridges on the needles and out of round 
seats.

/4th...I have the Bentley manual for the GT6 which details the retrofitting 
/of a brake servo.  Are
/these difficult to find and rebuild ?  Based on what I've read in 
/the Haynes manual, the rebuilding
/doesn't look to difficult although I noticed the kit is somewhat expensive.

You'd have to phone around for a used one.  It might be worth checking 
some of the UK suppliers.  I have no idea what the availability is, a 
lot of people took them off.  VB sells the whole unit for $270.  The 
rebuild kits are ~$150.  The hard part in mrebuilding is getting it back 
togethor after replacing the parts.  It has a very strong spring inside.
