[Tigers] Tiger owner looking for brake booster or valve body

[Jay Laifman]

Another thing to keep in mind.  There are many versions of the same looking servos.  I once wrote to Girling.  I can share the letter I got back from them; if anyone wants to see it.  This was about 25 years ago. 

This all happened because  I decided to buy the servo kit from Victoria British because it was less expensive than the one Sunbeam Specialites sold at the time. Then I found that the “kit” was useless.  But it did come with instructions that listed maybe 100 cars and which servos went to which cars.  So I wrote Girling to confirm.  According to Girling, the 7” servo on my late Series V Alpine was supposed to be the same one as on the Jaguars.  It was a 3:1 ratio servo.  The one that VB sold me was 1.9:1.  The one SS sold then was 2.3:1.  

I don’t know what is correct for the Tiger according to Girling.  I would have no reason to think it is any lower of a ratio.  But I don’t know for sure.  And certainly Girling could have been wrong.  

Nevertheless keep this in mind when you search out a replacement servo.  

I still have those Girling instructions with the list.  I will check what it says.  But that won’t be until Monday when I’m back at work.
