All,
Several of us over on Madabout Kitcars have been researching the possibility of replacing the weedy little Metro servo in our Sportsters and Cabrios with a dual diaphragm unit.
After a lot of legwork Mike took the plunge and bought one, so we know it fits in a Cabrio. He then lent it to me, and I fitted it in Vikki, my Sportster - so we know it fits in there as well.
More importantly, Vikki is on the road - so I have successfully tried the new servo out. It's light years ahead of the Metro servo. As I stated in our thread on Madabout:
You can feel the amount of braking effort going in from the position of the pedal, not the bulging of the muscles on your leg. No more "pray and push harder" moments when you have to fall out of Warp speed suddenly.
Any way - Mike is trying to get a group buy together with the supplier of the servo. If you are genuinely interested, and in a position to commit to purchasing one, please reply to the end of the thread I've linked to above. Once we have a decent amount of pre-orders, We can go back to the supplier who will order them from the states for us, with a little discount thrown in.
Price is estimated to be £65-£70 Inc for a Zinc finish servo. Stainless may be an option, but we don't have a price on that yet.
Cheers,
Jason (AKA GreatOldOne, or GOO to his friends)
