Derek,
Good thought. I should recommend, here, that everybody get one of those
"Emergency Servo Kits" from CAT Warehouse. It is a short piece of stainless
hydraulic hose with the correct "bubble flare" (not DOUBLE) compatible female
ends. American cars use "double flare" fittings, which are nOT compatible with
British fittings. Rick and Curt has metal lines available. These emergency
kits connect the goes-into line to the goes-out-of line bypassing the servo.
It makes the pedal effort higher, but many like it fine that way. It is great
if you get a sudden failure, and are sucking all your fluid through you vacuum
line and out the exhaust. Costs about $10 to members. Always keep one inside
the spare tire tool holder well (in a zip-lock)
