    8" Brake Servo

    Hi I have an 8" brake servo in my box of spares if anybody is in need of a replacement or a spare. It looks to be in great condition and could well have been a recent addition to the car it came from before it was broken? Open to reasonable offers as these are very expensive to buy as you know.
