One Lucas PSA314 Servo (ie the SAAB style servo) from the stock that Q11 have in Germany. So they do exist in the wild still smile

Congratulations Mr. Wurzel Sir!

Please could we see a photo of the other side with it out of the bag?
I'd love to see how it compares with my obscure set-up.

Cheers,
Glen.

Glen,

Pictures unwrapped ..eh? Could this be Servo porn smile As Mrs Wurzel has just stepped out I can exchange a few candid shots.



This is the front should look very similar to the PSA328 Fiesta servo you have as I undertand from tvrgit et al its just the orientation of the master cylinder mouting relative to the four bolts at the back see next pic



and this is the back?

So with all the time and trouble invested in servos should I jazz it up a bit for servo porn cred. How about a stone chip finish on the lower half? Chromed perhaps? Dont say bright pink to match those roecker covers on ebay wink

This still leaves the mystery of what you have on your S though, did you get any suggestions.

Ah, what an orgasmic sight! Now we need to track another in the wild, get them both covered by CITES and into a suitable endangered species breeding programme.

...............and I am spent!

( it was the thought of the pink one that did it )
Thanks for the pics, I better delete before anyone else sees them wink

Still no closer to unravelling the mystery of what exactly is lurking under Austin's bonnet. Could be early Gazelle, or late Stag. Or Mini Moke. Or Mustang. Or Starion ( I believe Mister Bushy meant "Stallion", but it was lost in translation! ) Or Pony. Or Colt. Or Tiger ( Grrrrr! ) That scared you didn't it? Or Stingray. Or some Froggy thing. Or Panda. Or Puma. Or Jaguar. Or something from the TVR Skunk Works top secret research & development ( AA department ) centre of excellence which may or may not have been somewhere close to Blackpool.

scratchchin Hold on a minute! I've just realised it's absolutely nothing to do with endangered species!
idea I reckon my brake set-up was probably nicked from a Pleasure Beach Ride braking system sometime after closing time on a dark moonless night in August 1987. That would explain everything, especially the corrosion caused by that salty sea air.

But what if we track down another servo, and find out it's gay?
Or the same gender?
What chance your breeding programme then Richard? ( Solly, I just swore in Chinese ).

Oh woe is us weeping

Having done a bit more geographic research............ we can pinpont the quarry.

South of the Black Forest in Switzerland it seems, if you put their HQ address in Google Maps
Q11 AG Knonauerstrasse 54 CH-6330 Cham

You would need to cross the Alps (on the old servo smile )

I noted my servo was shipped from Switzerland to the German address I gave them, which makes it even more irritating their policy of "only shipping to Germany", when they are not even in Germany themselves. mmmm.....

Ah, one of those Swiss Alpine servos eh, cant see it breeding with any other servo without us first opening up a private bank account for the offspring. Bet it wont even want to mate with a common brake cylinder.
