Brake Servo

[SilverSpur]

My 66 LHD MK1 FL59072 has in the past been fitted with a later and incorrect brake servo , as it’s very visible I would like to refit the original type with the correct bracket and vacuum hose . Can anyone give me guidance as to the correct model , size etc before I go shopping .
Thanks Dave

I believe there are different diameters ? 5” , 5.5” is that correct .which would I need ?

The standard one is 5 1/2", 7" servos were fitted to competition cars (and 550 VAR)

As far as i'm aware only 5.5" and 7" (i'd say the one in the ebay link above is a 5.5") fitted to many cars during the 60s and 70s, always sell for more money when advertised as "lotus Cortina Servo"

Thanks again to all for the help , time to go shopping I expect brackets may be the difficult part . But thinking about it they are probably a Girling part

Dave, I have a spare Mk2a 5.5", which will need to be rebuilt. The hose can sourced from the Mk1 Owner's Club.
