I have a standard 1972 Austin 1300
I see that the GT's run a remote brake servo, mounted behind the battery on the RHS
Is retro fitting a servo into a standard car a worthwhile exercise ?
If it is, what's involved.
What servo unit would be best ? (if originality unimportant)
Ebay and Aliexpress searches often bring up a servo designated LE72969 with a 1.9:1 ratio.
Are these any good?

Re: ADO16 Remote Brake Servo Options
I can't really see any issues with running a servo on an ADO16. I don't have one on my MK2 & the brakes are excellent.
Fitting a servo won't make the brakes "better" it will just reduce the pedal pressure needed to stop.
If I was fitting one, I'd use a standard 6" one as fitted to the MK3 Cooper S.

The above is actually listed for an 1100.
