Whilst I have a Triumph based roadster, I can’t claim to have done it .. don’t see the need. BUT ..
Rimmer do a Remote Servo kit, very reasonably priced .. start by investing that ..size, connections etc.
Not sure where to put it ? passenger bulkhead engine bay probably only possibility due being cooler than drivers side. But it’s tight in there !
It would keep existing master cylinder. I tried to upgrade my master cylinder alone and even that wouldn’t fit !
Take vacuum feed off inlet manifold , assuming you have one .. then divert brake pipes accordingly..
Suggest you brake down question further and give more details, to get a more meaningful response.
If you are very lucky, someone will have done it ..
PS: Just read the original build manual .. regarding a servo it just says , “ A servo can be fitted on the rear of the engine compartment “ .. so it must be possible !Last edited by 928cdu; 18-07-23, 10:05 AM.Triumph Herald 1200 based Roadster

Many moons ago I fitted a remote servo on the passenger side of the bulkhead of my old Marina based Roadster. I think it was a Lockheed unit which I believe was also fitted to the old Mini Coopers. Later I fitted a shield between the unit and the exhaust manifold to prevent it from getting too hot. In my opinion the braking is quite adequate without the servo but you needed a fair push in an emergency braking situation. The servo just lightened the load a bit. I'm not familiar with the Triumph based engine bay so don't know if this is of any help.
