Hi Craig,
Contact Ted Schumacher for rebuilt servo. Reasonable price for sure and good
looking. But are you sure yours is bad? Leaking fluif doesn't mean servo is
bad, means MC is bad. Servo info including how to test:

To the list,
1972 Triumph TR6.
Have original brake master cylinder and servo. Noticed brake fluif coming out
at the bottom of the master where it is bolted to the servo. Have cleaned and
driven the car, it is a slow leak.
Discussed with Randall, contacted TRF to see about Girling replacement. MC
backordered, they have a replacement, but not Girling. Servo is a repro, the
two about $485.
Have reviewed the list on this topic, and it looks like Apple Hydraulics is
the way to go. I would want a full rebuild of both (why not), and their
website says both for $300. I have had carbs done by Paltech, came back and
looked brand new. Had fuel pump rebuilt by TRF, came back and looked brand
new. Had distributor rebuilt by Advanced Distributors, came back and looked
brand new. You see where I am going here? Can someone on the list who has
gone through this process with Apple confirm their work? From everything I
read, they do a great job. Do they paint the servo? I would like some input
from someone who has gone through this recently.
I am not a rebuild kind of guy, but I have removed and reinstalled everything
above. It appears to be fairly simple to remove both, plug the brake lines,
drain the fluif, remove the plastic reservoir, ship them the whole thing, they
return with the gaskets to reinstall the reservoir, bolt it back up, top off
and bleed the brakes.
Thanks in advance,
Craig
