Could anyone confirm how the pushrod assembly from a Lockheed Brake Servo (as fitted to the MK1 S) comes apart. I need to replace the shaft itself and am guessing that is crimped in at the bottom where the indent marks are at the bottom as shown in the pic. |

Problem solved. It is crimped in. Now have it apart and can now get new rods machined. |

You can buy these new from J&L Spares in the UK at about 30 dollars (exchange). http://www.jlspares.com/sealkits1.htm I re-chromed my pushrod, and then drilled and pinned the joint as a home fix. |

Thanks for the info Mick. I will pick a couple up from them when I am over in the UK in July. |

It might be worth considering having them made from stainless rod. The chrome always flakes, rusts and cuts the seal. I have had some machined down to size at a local engineer. |

If rechroming the rod you want 'hard chrome', not decorative. A problem with SS is it is way softer than chrome, it does not wear nearly as well. |
