Help please with images for the route of the brake pipe to the servo and the servo to the front subframe.

Thanks in advance...

I put a servo in my Traveller. The picture shows the brake line routing I used based on a 67 Cooper S setup.

P.S. I'm not sure how I managed to attach the picture. It's a Christmas miracle!

Here's another picture (hopefully) of the completed engine bay to show the route of the lines around the air intake pipe. The clip separating the pipes (painted black) shown in Roger's S is just visible. The servo is mounted higher up than on my Cooper S because on the shell I restored there were existing mounting holes on the inner fender.

Thanks to all for images - this seems to be the closest to what I believe it should be for a 65....

This is pretty much spot on for a 65 S.

That's an interesting engine shot! and appears to have the same non fresh air hose looping over the servo - mine also ends just ahead of the bulkhead with an internal gauze cover.. Also looks to be Tweed Grey! (as is mine).

Thank you!

Correct on all counts, pic was taken in Jan 66, it's one of the Speedwell press shots of my ex ex-demonstrator LGW 123D.

Do you have any photos of the car Mark?

Would it have been based on a standard Cooper or S just intrigued by the position of the fuse/regulator box? (can't quite make it out)...

Yes, I have lots of pictures of it. I don't think any show the regulator box though.

I can probably supply some photos of the pipes I made for HOY.

According to Simon Wheatcroft they are very accurate, copied from some original photos he sent me.

Much the same as Marks
