On the V8 register website, a warning is made that brake servos in MGB GT V8s (and I assume in other MGBs) fail every now and then.

While a number of safety measures is suggested, I was wondering whether I just couldn't take away the servo?
My '65 MGB doesn't have a brake servo, so I know that braking takes some more effort but obviously, the servo doesn't change the braking capacity of the car itself.

yay or nay?

Thanks for putting things in perspective gentlemen.

I'll keep the servo in and will consider refurb/removal if issues occur.

(I agree on the Mumsnet-like nature of some of the threads on the register smile )
