[Rovernet] SD1 Rover brake servo compatibility

[Ben Saunders]

For what it is worth, having owned and driven Rover SD1's a lot, I found 
that the braking system was poor at best especially in the rain. When 
the front calipers got wet you were driving without brakes at all and 
yes my vacuum servo was working fine, just inadequate. I installed a 
Chevy servo that was larger in diameter and the brakes worked in the 
hardest rain so end of problem. This was done before the tandem servos 
were available so you might want to fry one of them.

PS: anybody interested in a 1960 Rover P4 100 let me know.
