If the bracket is the same on the early servo cars as the later, I can take a
pic for you. I happen to have my early servo out at the moment rebuilding it
so could get a clear shot.

  Well friends,

  After spending Sunday afternoon with Tod Brown on and off the phone,
looking
  at pictures in Tiger books, I tried calling Tiger Tom. He said he didn't
  remember but to try Rick at SS.

  Monday I called Rick on a couple of subjects, this being one of them. He
  spoke uncategorically and stated:

  5.5" boosters should have a strap around the steel vacuum canister with a
  bracket that ties it to the firewall

  7" boosters should have no strap (and no bracket)

  This is in fact what I heard from the people kind enough to look or
remember
  their cars when newer. Servos happen to be the kind of item that goes  in
and
  out of the car with irritating regularity. My car, purchased by me in  1976
  had gone through three P.O.s. It should have had a 7" servo (382002083) but
  had a 5.5". So, somewhere down the line it had packed up and was replaced by
a
  5.5". I bought a 7" , rebuilt it and got that
  yellow striped hose from that guy in England and plan to install it this
  summer but there is always a detail or two that hangs out there.

  BTW: can anyone supply a picture of the intermediate bracket that goes
  between the aluminum casting on the servo and the mounting base welded to
the
  inside of the passenger/engine bay ? Or am I dreaming?

  Best regards,
