<div dir="ltr">I have used both. The PBR is a far superior unit to the Lockheed. The Lockheed's pressure valve sits at the bottom of the unit and when it gets wet it can corrode.. making the unit inoperable. I have no idea why they don't put a SS sleeve in there, then there would not be a problem<br><br>Anyway, I've had the PBR on my BJ8 for 30 years, and for various reasons the car has sat for years from time to time.

I had one in my BT7 MkII, rare for those models. Anyhow, it was disconnected when I bought the car so I had to rebuild it with a kit. That lasted about 10 years then one of the "new" parts proved to be soluble in brake fluid and disintegrated. That nearly ended in tears. Another kit, from a hopefully more reliable source, but I never trusted it. So.......it was my feeling that, if I couldn't fix a Girling, then any second hand Girling out there would be unreliable. I elected to replace it before it let me down again.<br>
Seems that the two most usual substitutes are Lockheed or PBR, the latter being Australian. I'd heard much better reports for the PBR so I looked out for one of them. They are very rare, if sold at all, in the UK. Anyhow, someone imported a BJ8 back here from the US and found a spare new PBR in the boot (trunk!). I bought that for a song and fitted it. Easy fit with the supplied brackets. Works well. I like it. Their model code, for my BT7 at least, is VH40. I checked that with PBR.<br>
