Installing the brake servo

My new brake servo has arrived after a long, but worth while wait. It is a Patton from Melbourne, Australia. Model #2. It is a very well built looking unit and I am about to install it on my '66 BJ8. My question is this, are there any tips for installing the servo? I have the straight forward information from the work shop manual and will go forward with that information, but I have found, from reading the forum, that members have come up with helpful tips to just about everything being done to the AH 3000. Any tips would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie
 
Hi Charlie, I have had the Patton unit installed on my car for a long long time. If you install it with the Vacuum drum facing the engine you can then remove the car's starter from beneath the car.---Fwiw---Keoke
 
Can you send us a pic of the unit? Is it similar to the Australian PBR unit?
 
It is the PBR unit. VH-40 Model #2 Would you still like a picture? If so, I'll have to figure out how to post pictures. Haven't done that yet, but need to learn anyway.
