Compbrake servo replacement
Hi guys,
I'm hoping for help/advice really on the compbrake servo replacement
I have a hissing brake servo which seems to have caused a fair few people on here some headaches to. What i was hoping/thinking was to do away with the servo all together and use this compbrake set up,does anyone have experiences with the setup ? Would that have been its primary design to delete the servo or is it more for track biased cars? The car isn't a track car by the way.
I hope someone makes sense of what I'm trying to do and any help would be great.
thanks matt

From what I can remember about the compbrake units there is no pedal feel as such and the pedal will be rock hard all the time, not ideal for a road car. I'm sure there was some thread on here about using a mondeo servo and modifying the original servo mounting bracket. Have you done a search?

Thanks for the reply beaver rs.
think the compbrake kit is a none starter then really I have searched mate yeah i was really just considering that as an option kind of fit and forget jobbie. Funnily enough was telling a mate about it today and he gave me a number of a chap who could possibly refurb the old servo which is another option. Will keep looking joys of owning older Ford's I suppose lol.
cheers matt

That looks sound rsmat is that a straight forward modification? What parts would I need? Would I have to repipe the brake system. This would be my first attempt at something like this but would gladly have a go but as it's the brakes I best ask for the advice first. Cheers matt
