410, 411, 412 servos

I fitted a 4.25x boost brake servo (Lockheed LR18230) to the front brakes and left the 1.9x servo on the rear brakes. After days of fiddling to stop a fluid leak at the caliper, I finally put it back on the road today and took a VERY slow drive down the street to test the brakes still worked at all! It seemed ok so I took it for 30 minutes on the back roads.

The new servo for the front brakes gives over twice the boost the old one did and it really makes a huge difference. The pedal effort to stop the car is now similar to our modern Mazda and the stopping power is impressive for a car of this vintage and weight.. I'm really glad I made that change.
