[Healeys] Soft Brakes

[Price Lindsay]

The mc is the same size as the one I removed and as with the original spec. I'll try your test once I re-blead the servo. Thanks.

It would be a good idea to plug the line or fitting at the manifold when you disconnect it so that air is not sucked into the intake manifold during the test. If you do not notice any difference then the servo is not functioning.
