I have a booster for my BJ7 but I can't locate a supplier for the vacuum pipe (AHB 9112) which runs along the firewall, the two rubber hoses at each end (AHB 9887 , AHB 9120). Can anyone supply details of suppliers of these parts ( new or used) or images of the parts installed.
I have found this forum and it's members knowledge invaluable on previous occasions.
Many thanks,
Greg
 
I rebuilt and installed a servo onto a MKIII yesterday (HBJ8L41778), but it only had a single rubber hose (also replaced; specifically a vacuum hose__so that it does not collapse) between the servo's check-valve and the intake manifold.

I can't say that I've ever seen the firewall mounted pipe, do you have a picture?
 
HI, Google "MR fine spinner" he makes brake pipe sets for all the csrs. Similarly, since this in not a unique item most of the normal Healey suppliers, such as British Car Specialties Moss or Healey Surgeons, may als have it. --Fww-Keoke
 
Many thanks for the replies. I have some images of the pipe but they are on another computer. I will access them in the next few days.I have tried British car Specialists,Moss and Cape.I will try Healey Surgeons.
 
Have a look at AH Spares - here's one of the threee pages that they have for brake bits: https://www.ahspares.co.uk/en/products/default.aspx (you've got a treasure there: the page lists a reconditioned original servo assembly for 285 pounds).
A local shop installed a booster on our BJ7 this past year, and located it tucked within the passenger side fender, near/slightly below the spin-on oil filter. I believe that the vacuum assist was an option on the BJ7 so if you've got the original style booster then the original plumbing makes sense. If you can't find what you need, drop AH Spares an e-mail - they've been good in the past responding to my questions.

The parts he is referring to are unique to the BJ7 servo Brake control system. Dough Reid can fix him up____Keoke
 
Nope, I'm pretty sure that I've never seen one of those before. If I have, it could only have been while I was employed at Austin-Healey West, circa 1978-1979.

Is the same part fitted to both LHD/RHD cars? I am aware that the servo position is the same for both.

If you could find some pictures of how the manifold end terminates, it wouldn't be difficult to replicate; just need some steel tube and the appropriate bender.
