Last year I fitted a reconditioned v8 servo to my 76 1.8 roadster.

Since then when I press the brake pedal until the brakes start to bite then hold the pedal steady the brakes firm up and it's as if I am pressing the brake pedal. If I lift off and re apply the brakes the pedal goes much further ...

I'm in Northumberland so bit of a hike to Oxfordshire but thanks anyway. Might go down to Peter Burgess

Hi Peter. Thanks for your reply. It's a Kent 717 cam. Good idea about the rolling road.

After fitting a fast road cam when I blip the throttle I get a fine petrol mist coming back out of the carburetor. Under hard acceleration there is a strong smell of petrol inside the car which disappears as soon as I back off on the throttle. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response Peter. Now to decide which type!

Has anyone tried these kits, either the wedges or the spacers? If so how successful were they, did they reduce the effort required to turn the steering wheel and/or improve handling?
