I seem to recall that a company in North Cornwall makes batches once in a while, and probably supplies both companies.

I am disappointed that the seller does not post to the United States.

I have MK 1 brake servos that I would like to restore but need the seal kits to accomplish the task.

FYI.They do ship worldwide if you deal direct, and not via eBay.

You can also check Alfa Romeo parts suppliers, the 105 series Alfas used the same servo that built under license by Bonaldi (later Bendix/Benditalia). The rebuild kits aren't cheap though, and you want to be sure the bore of the main servo body is fit for purpose, quite often if they've been sat for a while the aluminium bodies are too badly oxidised for use.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Same goes for any steel ones like the originals of course, a first check would be that the bores are nice and clear of rust and scoring - then temporarily reseal them with red brake grease ;-)

Retro minis website is still showing complete Bendix units btw
