[Healeys] Brake servo

[Chris Dimmock [Healey]]

Agree with Bob 100%
Replace the flexible Brake hoses (all 3) - one to each caliper, and the
single flexible line to the rear Brakes at the diff centre.
A Booster failure doesn't generally stop the car from moving, nor fix
itself. And replacing 3 x flexible brake hoses is about 1/4 - 1/5 the cost
of rebuiling a BJ8 original booster.
Did you replace these hoses previously?
