That is a Lockheed design which is near enough the same as a T2000 except that LDV versions have metric fixings.
Even if it will fit, there is a snag with the master cylinder, an LDV is 7/8" bore which is really too big for a Dolomite
(unless you like brakes that are either off or fully on).

I fitted an LDV servo/master cylinder to a T2500 in conjunction with Jaguar XJ12 calipers a few years ago.


JPB's suggestion of Volvo 360 seems a better option to me......

Here is the Sherpa servo and master cylinder installed in a T2500.
I also made up a bracket (a la Dolomite), to stop the assembly moving forward under braking.

Just a slight hijack but still servo related.

Are the grommets for the non-return valve available anywhere? RB only sells the non-return valve with a grommet. The reason I'm asking is because Brown's grommet has started to split. I'm sure the valve is fine.

I'm sure I have a couple of grommets knocking around. I must have, after fitting 4 servos. PM me your address & I'll pop one in the post.
