If you put a subject in the title bar it might be easier for people to identify your thread and offer advice.

I'm just wondering if perhaps Rover SD1 has been mentioned in the past.

Nah - it looks different to an SD1 one.

Most are Cortina. Post the old one to Classicar and they should be able to help.

Why don't people upgrade the servo if they want easier to press brakes as opposed to fitting four pot calipers? I have alsways wondered this, and it would save loadsa dosh.

What's a good upgrade choice? In past threads Mondeo servos have been mentioned. Anyone got experience of these? I will be looking at upgrading breaks when the garage is built. Probably the Keri four pots with vented/grooved disks and may do a servo at the same time if I can find a bolt on upgrade that is compatible.
A good feature of upgrading the servo is it won't mess with the bias but it will do nothing to improve actual stopping power or heat problems, just makes it pedal easier to push. Considering the weight of the clutch pedal you could argue that you need the exercise on the right leg or else you'll be walking in circles
