moore101

having learnt to drive in a series 1 with no servo i dont mind a heavy pedal due to no servo. the main thing i want to know is whether the series master cylinder will physically shift all the pistons in all the calipers and from comparing the size of it to the size of the range rover one (and the picture of a defender one) i reckon it should do. extreme care shall be taken and plenty of checking that all the brakes work will be done before i put it on the road, and i shall look into getting a defender servo and master cylinder to replace existing so i know that it will all function exactly like original al

How much extra force does an early defender servo produce over a series servo? The reason for asking is that we rebuilt our 101 servo with defender inners (original servos not available and early defender servos are the same apart from mounting stud position) and the 101 servo doesnt seem to make the brakes any easier than on my lightweight. cheers for replies, al

my lightweight will be getting range rover axles under it retaining the original springs and im wondering whether i can keep the existing master cylinder or whether it wont be up2 the job of the range rover discs. the master cylinder i have is a lwb item as i have 2.6cyl front brakes at the moment and the master cylinder does look considerably bigger than the range rover item. hopefully someone will tell me its ok to use my existing master cylinder so that i dont have to find someway of grafting the range rover item on. cheers, al

I found a load of information on this thread: http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=14302 and the link i put on there has a load of information, with pictures, makes it look very simple: http://www.orrp.com/smf/index.php?topic=12985.0 al
