Brake Servo.
Can I fit a servo from a 2.0litre Transporter straight into my 1.6 air-cooled Transporter, or do I need to change the pedal box too? ( I don't have a servo fitted at the moment.) Thanks in advance.

Re: Brake Servo.
it looks from the parts catalogue as if the bracket maybe different but the part numbers aren't shown any longer but there was a version with no suffix and a suffix A, if you can get the whole assembly that should work, as the pedal is different too between non-servo and servo brakes, one acting directly on the brake master and one working via clevis on the servo

Re: Brake Servo.
From the pics on the net, it seems like the non-servo has a press bent sheet metal bracket for the pedals, while the servo one has a cast aluminium bracket. All different shape.
I would say you will need a complete late assembly with brake master and reservoir.

Re: Brake Servo.
Thanks for your replies. I will need to look at my pedal box to see if it is the same as your photos. Thanks again.

Re: Brake Servo.
Just checked with crazydiamond the CU bracket is pressed steel for the servo so you need the complete CU pedal, bracket and servo set up - you probably won't easily be able to fit the later cast alloy bracket set up as the air-cooled shell will be slightly different
