What location on a BN2 can a servo be installed? The outside of the passenger side footwell would be ideal, however there is a bracket to hold the brake/clutch shaft and a bracket for the master cylinder intended for a right hand drive. With these brackets in place there is no room for the servo. Where else ?it be ;ocated
 
To be honest I don't believe a servo is necessary on a 100. If it still has its drum brakes they are leading shoe type so effectively have a servo effect built into them.

I have an acquaintance who has a power servo on his all-drum BN6. IMO it results in too-sensitive braking.
 
I agree with DerekJ, you shouldn't need a servo on a 100. If the brakes are set up/adjusted correctly, they work fine. To get them better without a servo I installed Kevlar lined shoes on the front. Once bedded in they really work well.
