[Healeys] 'Powerboost' servo

[Earl Kagna]

Alan: plus the others who have replied:

The 'Powerboost' servo is not the PBR - different item, which is why I made
the query.  Several us here have PBR VH44 servos on our BJ8's and are pleased
with them, although the PBR VH40 is probably better for the Healey - closer in
boost to what the original Girling is.

A couple of fellows here need servos, so we're just gathering information.

  Earl -

  I think you mean the PBR booster from Australia, right?  I've had one on my
BJ8 for almost 15 years, still works like new.  Just slightly less boost than
the original booster, but I like it because the brakes are much more like a
proper modern sports car.

  I think the Lockheed replacement currently available from the UK, like the
original, overboosts a bit.
