'71 Vixen - brake servo required.

[simonpa]

Is a servo'd braking system needed on a Vixen?

I've started a restoration and am considering replacing the original m/c and servo with a single or twin m/c setup.
The car has/will have new front discs/calipers and rear shoes/drums/etc.

Has anyone done this, or have any advice on the way forward?

TIA - Simon

Brilliant - thanks for the replies.

The m/c and servo both need replacing anyway.
I should be able to replace the extra brake line distributor/splitter with a suitable split-circuit m/c.

All I need to do is find a decent replacement/upgrade!

Thanks Neil - I meant a dual (split) circuit master cylinder, rather than dual m/c.

That's a neat installation, Sir - do you have a blog covering your work, or a bunch of pictures somewhere?

Cheers - Simon

Which Cortina m/c is that, please?

Removing the servo looks like it will require a fair amount of pedal box and body modification, so I would like to refurb the servo I have.

Splitting the servo for refurb looks like it will be difficult - does it twist together/apart?
