Guys. Don't suppose anyone could help with the best place to mount a servo and where best to route it??! Ive got Marina discs up front and 9"drums on the back and a BMC servo purchased on ebay!
Im trying to find the best set up for mounting the servo in the engine bay and having all the pipework running so as to be nice and tidy.
Any pictures would be usefull also as it gets a bit confusing if not tricky explaining what runs where!

Any help or pictures appreciated!

Let's see if I can post another pic on here! Mine is on the engine bay floor
on the drivers side as far back as possible.

I too am looking at adding a servo (with Marina discs). Has anyone replaced the master cylinder with a firewall mounted one? My donor car (celeste) has the servo and master cylinder in one. Thanks.

BMC...no, it doesn't obstruct anything in that position and gives easy access
to the original brake pipes without running across the engine bay.

It is bolted through the engine floorpan and,because I was not happy with the rigidity of the standard mounts I have added an extra metal strap (see pic)which is fixed to the inner wing. Fitting the unit here meant that it cleared
the starter motor and the damper so nothing had to be repositioned.
