[Healeys] PBR brake servo

[Stephen Hutchings]

Interesting...I'll have to check the number on my Bj8's PBR, because, right from the start, I've always found that I needed more pedal effort than my memories of the old Girling. It takes a bit of getting used to in the spring, after I've been driving modern cars all winter.Don't feel like going out to the unheated garage and crawling under the car right now- Toronto's gone into deep freeze once more.

On my BJ8 it does provide a bit more assist than the girling, but I got used to it.  I find it still quite good and giving a good feel for braking.
Best,
Alan

Replaced the original with the PBR unit a year ago.  I find the brakes now to be a bit grabby.  Cannot get smooth braking on a consistent basis.  I will note that I drive the car very little so there could be other issues in the system.  Have not replaced the hoses in quite a while.

One of these has turned up, a VH40. Comes off a stalled BJ8 project. Never used.I thought we needed VH44s in 3000s. It’ll be to replace the (factory fitted) Girling in my Mk II BT7 which is overdue another rebuild or retirement.Which is correct for my car??Thanks,Simon.
