Bob:
Precision Sportscar Service in Ontario sells the Australian made PBR
replacement servo - I've used them, they are excellent, better than the
Lockeed replacement in my opinion. They can also supply a fitting kit for
it - brackets that tidily mount to the original studs, a couple of
pre-shaped brake pipes, and a slighly longer vaccuum hose.
I'm not sure if any of the usual US suppliers are carrying this at this
time, but you could check.
I have one of these in a box - can send a couple of digital pics if it will
help you, just ask.
They carry the Lockeed unit as well, and last I heard, were also able to
supply re-built original Girling units.
Check with them at: www.precisionsportscar.com

Alan,
I was not aware of reliability issues without the original Girling unit.
I was also under the impression that the switch to the Lockhead unit
also required either different fittings or routing of the lines.
