Re: Mk3S servo kit
I have a mk1 S, about 3 or 4 years I and spent ages in a fruitless search for a repair kit for my original Lockheed servo and the offers of secondhand units were expensive and the condition questionable.
In the end I settled for an aftermarket Caparo AB Braking servo/kit, priced very reasonably which bought through MGBhive, with slight mods to the brackets supplied it fits the space well and works extremely well.
Getting back to the item genuine item, having searched everywhere for a repair kit for my rear brake compensator valve I discovered a genuine Lockheed NOS item at a company called "classic_remains2002" on Ebay, as far as I am aware it was the only 1 available but as a long shot they might be worth a try.
In the absence if the original and if the appearance is important I have since seen replacement replica Lockheed style servos advertised on Minispares, Minisport and others
