Brittain Servo

[N9405V]

Does anyone have a lead on servos? I’ve got a wing one that needs to be replaced.

 

Thanks!

You probably just need a new rubber boot.

Seems like every few weeks, there's some for sale somewhere.  Ebay, Facebook, etc.  I alway stop and look because I'm still using my Brittain A/P.

Just took a quick look; there's some on Ebay now.

Leaking servo boots can be repaired with Permatex Black rubber sealant until they hold 5 lbs of vacuum measured with a brake pump from Harbor Freight. I just finished repairing mine. Beware of buying used ones on EBay. Sellers sometimes say they don’t leak without properly testing. I may have an extra that holds vacuum if you need one.

Yeah, this servo has been repaired a couple of times and this last time somehow the whole rubber boot has gotten sticky.  If you have an extra one, message me please.

I just removed two perfectly working servos from my 1965 C! PM me with an offer if you want them.

I believe it stands for  Loewen's Mooney salvage:

Someone on this site suggested silicone bathing caps as substitutes for hard to find boots.  It was a worthwhile idea.
