> Since I put the car on the road after a full ground up (
http:\\members.shaw.ca\pleask ) I have this annoying "Something is
rattling/loose" feel on the brake pedal (and clutch) when I apply the brakes
very softly from say 20 MPH down to zero. I have searched hi and low, ck'd
all the suspention stuff, steering, hood etc and it is all tight. Having
never driven the car before the restoration I do not know the history of
this servo, I bet that helps hu ! The brakes work great ! Solid as
anything..... When I apply the hand brake only no noise or feel of anything
loose at all.

> After burning around in the car tonight I have come to the conclustion
(thought) that this "rattling/loose" feeling is coming from the servo unit.
Knowing next to nothing about Servo's I was hoping one of you could shed
some light on this subject for me ?
Hi Pat,
My guess is that your problem is more likely associated with the pedal
bearings than the servo.
There are notes on the Buckeye Triumphs website that address some of these
issues:
