Has anyone put a brake servo in a spitfire? Looked through the forum postings and didn't see anything mentioning this. There is certainly room for a remote
unit.

It's probably been done by someone, but I'm not sure why anyone would need to do this except to help compensate for an injury or disability. It's also worth noting that the servo kits I've seen used on Spitfires only worked on the front brake circuit (assuming you've got the dual-circuit brakes).
 
I think I saw one on a GT6 that looked factory years ago. That would be a way to go if you could find one.

I appreciate the info. Reason for the question is that my wife is very diminutive and likes to drive the car. Has complained the brakes are very hard. I do have dual circuit brakes, but that shouldn't be an issue. I can follow my Rover 2000 TC system which uses two remote servos.
