Could any one who's used this servo ( Porsche 944) in their swap confirm that, to use this servo all that it is required is the extending the thread on the bar on the back to make it suitable for it's use in an E30?

Also is the M/C any use? It looks suitable and is slightly larger in bore, 23mm which would be usefully for my 4 pot brake set up.

Cheers

Seem to remember that Randomdave mentions this servo in the build thread...snag is that you will have to pay 'Porsche tax' to buy one!
Plastic wing Clio is the servo of choice,really,I paid £10 at the scrappy...you will need to check with someone like Baddave ref master,stock E30 fits Clio servo with the addition of a spacer bar.Just takes a bit of fiddling about to get things just right.

Got a new one for cheap (£35 delivered complete with M/C) so I escaped the Porsche tax, hoping its of use as it appears to be perfect size and if the master cylinder is usable that will be a massive bonus. The only thing I've seen on it that will need modifying is the length of the thread on the threaded section on the in car side will need extending, hopefully.

Bump.

Anyone used either this servo or servo M/C combo in their swap?

Anyone ever thought about giving this set up a try (scroll down in the link)? Seems like an inexpensive alternative.
