16V Servo Conversion: Clevis Pin Change

paul_c said

The 16V servo thread has to be cut down, and use the clevis pin from the original servo. Here is a pic to illustrate everything:



From left to right are a 16V servo with original thread, another 16V servo with the thread cut down, and the original servo. I took measurements from the back of the servo to the end of the thread and its 97mm for the original and 107mm for the 16V version. You need to use the original clevis pin because it has a hole in it for the return spring. This pin is longer than the 16V version. If you were to drill a hole in the 16V clevis pin, then it would be in the wrong place, since its shorter.

For info, the plunger in the servo is in a markedly different place (the 16V one is much further in) which means that you need to use the matching master cylinder and servo together.

I spent the morning driving around parts stores buying brake pipe and researching T pieces. VW do it, its off a VW Beetle and the part number is 803 611 755. But its over ?15……..so I found that the part off a Mini, is the same, except its 3 times cheaper.
