[6pack] [TR] Dead brake servo

[levilevi]

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.

  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
