Thanks for the photo Jono that's perfect.
As mines been altered a bit by previous owners there's many holes and bits missimg all over the place.
Could I kindly ask for a few more shots from in and around your engine bay so I can compare it to mine? Will probably save me from asking questions over and again on the forum if I have a fairly original to compare too.
Mine was also red from factory but PO has painted it the Lotus Sky Blue colour.

That was what I thought also. While not exactly definitive the parts manual:
https://rdent.com/manuals/plus2/brakes/je.htm
lists servo(s) for all +2 variants.

I had taken my original brake servo ( Girling IIB) off the car because it was sucking in brake fluid. and I am deciding on wether I trust it to be rebuilt reliably, replace it with a 'new' equivelent or continue to drive without one.. More on this topic later. That said, I had the opportunity to measure up the spacing of the four 1/4/inch mounting holes. They are at 38 mm and 152 mm centres. See attached photo. Hopefully this will help you identify the original, corresponding mounting holes in your inner wing, among the others made by POs..! Tony

Mine was the same so I had it rebored and rebuilt with a stainless steel liner back to standard bore size which is the only way in my opinion. Just fitting seals and making it externally look nice as most rebuilders do to a 50 year old servo seemed a no-no to me. Now 4years on still very happy with the servo.

On eBay - just what you need, apart from the servo itself and pipework !
