Title: Servo unit
Post by: JNS on Thursday,February 13, 2020, 12:41:38 PM

Reading the Workshop manual and it seems to suggest that there is an air filter for the Brake Servo unit, and it should be changed every 6000 miles. (section J.14 page 19).
Is there such a thing or is it referring to the carb air filter?
Thanks
Jeff

There is one on the servo itself.

It is shown in this link   https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1966-74-Lotus-Elan-Europa-Girling-Brake-Servo-booster-Air-filter-kit-NEW/324011424164%3Fhash%3Ditem4b7095f9a4:g:CbgAAOSwSlBY2f~p&ved=2ahUKEwjF8b7rts_nAhUFilwKHcDTC2EQjjgwAHoECAMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3hMIG_Ll9FvSEEWNWFyNlR&cshid=1581627858063  (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1966-74-Lotus-Elan-Europa-Girling-Brake-Servo-booster-Air-filter-kit-NEW/324011424164%3Fhash%3Ditem4b7095f9a4:g:CbgAAOSwSlBY2f~p&ved=2ahUKEwjF8b7rts_nAhUFilwKHcDTC2EQjjgwAHoECAMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3hMIG_Ll9FvSEEWNWFyNlR&cshid=1581627858063)

Yup, there is an air filter in most boosters.  The only time I have ever changed them is when rebuilding the booster.  Even then most are still fine.
