Hi Dave,

I'm not a brake expert, but it sounds to me like the vacuum piston could be 
sticking to the vacuum cylinder in your brake servo. I believe that the 
original type (Girling) brake servo assembly is no longer available. 

Should you wish to have your original assembly rebuilt, I can highly 
recommend the services of "Power Brake Exchange Inc." They are located in San 
Jose, 
CA, telephone 408-292-1305.

I recently had my brake servo rebuilt by these guys (mine wasn't sticking, 
the gland seal leaked, and all the fluid was sucked into the servo). Since I 
installed the rebuilt assembly, there hasn't been a problem.
