    Evening all,

    Slowly been collecting the parts to swap my 8v Digi over to twin 45 Dellortos and have just come across the brake servo problem! How have people got round this in the past?

    I have seen posts about using the servo from a 1.6 but cant find any pictures to see how tight it is. Have also thought about the bias pedal box route as it was something i would have liked to have done in the future anyway, but this leeds me on to my next question... Does the Compbrake bias box that replaces the sevo give enough of a space saving to fit the carbs nicely?

    Any advice or pictures of setups would be much appreciated :thumbup:

    Ta

    I had thought of that but if i have to go swapping stuff about i may as well go for a bias box, looks like i could get a mk2 escort box to fit fairly easily if the compbrake item doesn't give enough clearance.

    Was really hoping someone would be able to confirm the 7" servo gave enough clearance though, thats the easiest option if true!
