Nasty ! Had mine all in bits the other day because my clutch master cylinder leaked a bit, but I stopped short of disassembling the brake master + servo...whimped out ! (and no need, just being nosey to see what was inside) The resvoir on the top says Ford so I guess its highly likely to a Ford servo and cylinder but cant be sure.

Its a fun job to get the peddle box out. Basically easy except for the 4 copper pipes that have to be unscrewed from an aluminium adapter block down at the left end of the footwell. You need to be a contortsionist (?) to get your spanner onto those little suckers. And of course all that lovely brake/clutch fluid to catch ! Unless you're feeling brave I'd suggest a TVR dealer job.

Just to help you on getting a new cylinder wink

Its a little tricky job just make sure you dont cross thread the pipes going into the brake connector block. Other than that its fairly painless.
