What colour should brake servos be ?

[Barry.b]

Hi guys I am just wondering, what colour were our brake servos in the 70’s
I have attached a photo of 2 reconditioned ones for a 2002 ( not mine )
And I am wondering if a 3.0 CSI would have blue and black as the colours
I don’t think they would be blue and silver.
I am not sure though.
Thanks again

Satin black

Perfect thanks again !!
So is that satin black All over and nothing blue ?
Thanks

 

[Stevehose]

Yes

No, they are blue., or rather the cast bodies are. Aluminium castings are left "as is" and the vacuum chamber is plated silver (that will be zinc passivate). You find traces of the old paint on them somewhere, I did.

Sorry I ASSumed usa version

It's one of those strange - no idea why the remote servos might have been blue, but they just seem to be that way

Blue and silver for RHD

Blue and zinc (silver) is correct for RHD as stated above. Black is LHD.

My 1973 3.0 CSi, Athena, originally delivered to Palermo Italy, has a satin black brake servo & master cylinder.

Hi there
Is your car RHD or LHD ?
I think the LHD ones might be all black.
Whereas the RHD ones are supposed to be blue and silver
But strangely mine seem to be black
Although there might be blue paint under all that grime.

Mine Not blue....

We are not talking about LHD, Barry is asking about RHD only which is silver and blue.

RHD are blue for the casting and silver / zinc for the rest.
