Good information. Thank you everyone.
It does raise a further query. If I removed the servo and ran the car without it, what would be the effect on the brakes and how would they feel? Is it legal to do this?
I would welcome any thoughts.

Hi Jeff,
From your location I'm guessing you have a UK spec car with a single circuit brake system ? If so, you may already have the 0.7" master cylinder, I'm pretty sure the original one on my TC was 0.7" and I've certainly run the car with that size and a brake servo.
If yours is the same then removing the servo is no big deal. Fit Greenstuff front pads and after a couple of miles you'll wonder why the servo was there in the first place.
I ran my TC with the OEM discs/Drums with a 0.7" cylinder/no servo and then changed it to a 0.75" m/cyl when I wanted to try a lower pedal travel. Yep, slightly higher pressure to get used to, you might like it, you might not - it's just a personal preference thing.
I'm currently running with a 0.75" (19mm actually) m/cyl, discs all round and no servo. Mintex front pads, EBC Ultimax2 rear pads & braking is very much like a modern car.

As for legality, what matters is that the brakes work, not that they are as originally designed.
