I fitted a similar one to a reliant scimitar some years ago - seemed to work ok

Cheers

Lockheed single circuit type --- two needed for dual circuit system

Had one on the old Series Landy, worked fine.

Until with old age (this affects any vehicle) they develop a fault, the common one results in ALL the fluid being sucked into the vaccuum side of the servo.

Result - VERY sudden NO BRAKES

But yes they are good and as said you need one for EACH brake line out of (EACH of) the master cylinder(s)

Lockheed ones were pretty reliable easy to recondition --

Girling type they were more prone to corosion also if the seals went fitting a new kit was rarely sucessful.
