MG MGB Technical - brake servo for B

I have a 74 chrome bumper B US version with the dual brake system. I would like to fit a sevo, but the one of the rubber model, as I will have the change the pedal box. Has any body tried to fit a single line servo only working on the front brakes??

Konz,

I did change the pedal box on my '69 to a rubber bumper type so that I could have the booster and a dual brake system. Not a radical problem. The box's holes changed slightly so had to be redrilled. The clutch pedal was the biggest problem, Apparently, when the box is installed, the angle of the swivel pin changes slightly enough so that the clutch won't disengage, the pedal requiring slightly more room to move. This was compensatd by slightly cutting out a small pie shaped portion in the pedal and welding the two parts together again to increase the distance on pedal travel.

Oh, the other problem consists of changing the air filters on the carbs. I used the cone shaped K & Ns. They fit tight, but work fine.

Good luck.
Luis
