Hello, when I have removed my brake servo, I have discovered it is not exactly the Girling model it should be. I include 3 pictures here of the servo that I have. I want to know if anybody can tell me which is the correct repair kit for this servo.
Thanks.
Jose Miguel

No not MGC, it is a latter/early version of the Hydro Vac units used on the Big Healey [ MK11 option and BJ8] and the series V early 1965 Sunbeam cars. I believe, but am not absolutely sure, the original repair kit for the original Healey booster will service Jose's also. IMOP they are difficult to repair and I recommend it be Pro built Jose.--Fwiw--Keoke

You may be right. The vacuum boss is straight and not at 90 degrees. It should be rebuilt by a professional. There is a large spring under the cap that will come flying out if you are not prepaired.
Cheers, David.
