1973 Europa Special restoration help

[BDA]

Every picture where someone mounted the Lockheed boosters where the Girling boosters were looks pretty bad IMHO. I mounted them in the area behind the rear wheels so you don't even see them. Of course, I was building the car from the frame up so I could route the brake lines any way I wanted. Doing that on a running car would be a bit more difficult.

This seems to make sense BDA - do you happen to have a picture of that ?

Here you go.

That's a neat idea, do you have two servos for a dual circuit with a matching servo on the other side or are you on single circuit ?

Here you go.

I think that is where Else fitted them on the S2

Thanks Brian!

Yeah. I have twin boosters. I kept the Federal brake circuit so of course I had to adapt it for the different locations for the boosters. The other is behind the other rear wheel. The plumbing didn't come out as neat as I wished but it is hidden by the trunk so I only care a little bit. Doing it this way allowed me to but a panel of electronic stuff where the boosters were. It holds a rev limiter, a fuel pump relay, a GPS antenna, some fuses and the emissions plaque  . The picture is old and I have a Pertronics rev limiter now and maybe another small change or two but you can get the idea.

I should note that just as the original boosters mounting points are backed up - originally there was a piece of sheet metal on the other side of the fiberglass where the boosters were mounted - I did the same thing.
