Well figured out why my brakes have been failing, servo has failed and brake fluid is getting into the intake manifold thus causing lots of white smoke.

So....any suggestions where to get a suitable replacement or refurb kit etc?

Is it not the seals in the master cylinder letting fluid into the servo? seals are an easy enough fix.

[Indiana_Jones]

As far as I understand at the moment it's some sort of seal on the M/C or servo itself that has failed, but it seems by the time they fail the servo itself is fairly munted and the bores etc are too worn.

So some sort of replacement might be the best long term solution, not fussed if it's not 'concours spec' etc just want working brakes.

Found another old mag from '69 with a bigger write-up on Vokkers - found out the only 3.3 Victor available to the Poms was the wagon, if they wanted the saloon model it had to be a Ventora - oh my, what a decision to make!...

I mate in Chchur has three wagons in his back yard that he's going to build one good one out of.

Quite possible the bore has been munted, but I would pull the master cylinder off first and check it out, may be ok with a light hone and new seals.

Working brakes are good...

If you want 100% fix AND keep it looking original there's outfits in NZ that will fit a stainless sleeve to worn master-cylinders, worth a thought...

That's what I've been suggested to do elsewhere and is my best option I reckon. Which outfit would you recommend? local would be better but will ship if I have to.

most local garages and brake shops send resleeving work out anyway - ask whoever is close that you like and trust
some master cylinders are quite generic and cheaper to buy new but a resleeved one will last almost forever so well worth it for a classic keeper vehicle
if its sucking fluid right thru the servo then it sounds like servo seals as well

It's been sometime since I used them but these guys were pretty good http://www.toresleeve.co.nz/Services/Resleeving.html

[Indiana_Jones]

Cheers lads, yup the seals will be rooted inside so will be doing that, but gonna get it resleeved so it lasts

Thanks kickaha, my father in law found someone in Invercargill that should be able to help, will let you know how we get on.
