[Healeys] Followup--- Girling Brake Servo Rebuild

[Bob Spidell]

Been a long time, and probably with the earlier product, but IIRC I just 
sprayed it over whatever was left of the original dry lube.  I probably 
scuffed the inside of the canister with Scotchbrite or emery cloth and 
cleaned it with brake cleaner.   Probably did a couple coats, just like 
any other paint.  I remember I had to buy 2 cans of it--and used about a 
tenth of a can--and had to pay a bunch for hazmat shipping.  The 
remainder was unusable after a couple years.

In hindsight I think I probably didn't need to do it, as the original 
coating appeared to be intact and the piston wasn't sticking.
