Subject: Re: LG45 brake servo
To add to the above, if the rods/levers of the system are adjustable (sorry, my only Lagonda brake experience is V12 & LG6 hydraulic), it is more than likely that well meaning meddlers in the past have adjusted things badly, or to take up wear.
Levers should ideally be arranged so that arc of the pull occurs at 90 degrees. Variations from that will significantly increase pedal pressures. My brother had an Alvis with a rod operated braking system, and I was utterly amazed at the huge improvement gained by cleaning, unseizing, greasing and correctly adjusting levers. Afterwards it would easily lock all 4 wheels at 30mph.
It would be wise to do all this before you consider fitting a servo.
