Plus2 servo replacement
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2016 12:10 pm
Dear All
For a while I have been thinking of improving the brake set-up on my Plus2 , this has been brought about by my need to tinker and retirement from work...as a consequence of the latter ( lack of exercise and on-coming old age ) I find the brakes are no where near as good as my daily pensioners shopping trolley.
The standard servo ( Lockheed ) is a Type 7 with a ratio of 3.00:1,the next step up being 4.25:1 which is what I am preparing to fit.
Any thoughts before I go ahead...Over-servoing,different pad materials etc.etc. bearing in mind the car is driven " spiritedly" whenever possible.
N.B. Also has ABS
