Guys,
I need a bit of tutorial advice on Remote Servos. I'm basicall looking at whether it might be possible to change the setup on my Cob (whch runs Princess 4-pots front, Granada Mk II 10 inch drums rear) to operate with a dual m/c Pedal box running (i guess?) a pair of remote servos? The setup up until now has used a good old Marina P/B and Marina servo - this arrangement has never been up to much :-(

Anyway, can anyone advise me please on :

1) How the twin servo approach works - do you simply plumb one servo in line with each m/c ? How adjustable can the setup be made? - can you alter the servo assistance in any way?
2) Where to get Servos & a dual m/c pedal box with balance bar at a good price?
3) Any general advice gained from bitter experiance would also be appreciated!

The other reason for going remote is to get the servo off the bulkhead so that the new exhaust manifolds I've fitted won't try and melt everything as they're currently doing very successfully!

Cheers,
Pete.

Cheers Mutant Rat! - that's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for! Will check out the links (colud be interested in the Elan manual stuff, but please don't go to any trouble as I have a local friend who I'm guessing might well have some details on the Elan set up also - I'll ask him tomorrow).

Cheers & thanks again,
Pete.
