If you have a 4.25:1 servo for the rear brakes it will need less pressure, so more can be applied to the front. As the manufacturer fitted with 2 x 4.5:1 and that gave a very good feel, I will replace with as near to original as I can.

Once you have one servo removed it shouldn't be too much of a chore to do the second at the same time.
Hmmmm. David, thank you. I have grave doubts about a 'balance bar' being fitted to my setup. The previous owner fitted a dual master and two servos but he went with the 1.9x boost servos. I doubt he knew about a balance bar and I don't recall seeing anything that would perform that function. Can you help me identify it? Where would it be? I can't see it mentioned in the spares book that I have downloaded.
