<DIV>Simon:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I switched to the PBR servo, it was ordered with a fitting kit from
Hydroboost in Australia. (we actually had 6 or seven in the order for people who
needed them here) – all VH 40’s, most destined for BJ8’s).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The fitting kits consisted of 2 pre-bent pipes, a pair of mounting brackets
from Kilmartin, and a longer vacuum hose – the PBR needs about 4 inches more to
reach properly. This made it a bolt–in proposition, so I didn’t have to go
through the angst of figuring it out myself! (There were no instuctions –
it’s really pretty straight forward.) Also note that it’s pretty nice
having a bleed screw on the servo body – makes the whole job much easier! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The brake pipe fittings are the same as what the Girling uses – they should
be readily available – along with the length of pipe – to make up your own pipe
assemblies if need be. I doubt that the existing pipes will work.
The exact length and bend will depend on the servo mounting, which positions it
in the car. Mounting brackets should not be too difficult to fabricate, or
you could source a pair directly from Kilmartin if you are patient!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One suggestion – we had a couple of the short moulded angled rubber hoses
fail – they split pretty early on, leaving the brakes locked up. Do
yourself a favour – before you install the servo, replace it with a length of
quality rubber hose and a couple of hose clamps. You will have to cut an
inch or so off the steel pipe to make it work comfortably.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you wish, I can get a couple of photos of the installed servo on my
BJ8. This might help you with the routing of the one brake pipe that has
to go around the right side engine mount. Even then you might have to
fiddle it a bit for the RHD installation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know. Cheers, ---- Earl

<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve not heard from anyone re. PBR manuals, destructions
etcetc. Can’t say that I’m surprised…..they seem to be quite rare and even to
fetch good money on Australian eBay. So, I suppose that you all had to do what I
propose to do, namely suck it and see.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>But, before I start:-<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Can the old pipes (for the Girling) be persuaded to get to
the PBR?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Are the threads on the fittings that take the brake fluid in
& out of the Girling the same as on the PBR?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I don’t mind forking out for pipes, pipe bender (is one
necessary?), etcetc. But, it would be silly to do all that if it’s not
needed??<o:p></o:p></P>
