Just wanted to add to this thread;

I used a TR6 booster to replace my original that was seized and severlyly rusted from what I assume was a fluid leak in the distant past. A quick measurement showed that the TR6 booster has the tip of the push rod extending about 2mm further out than the original.

Per this thread, I adjusted the push rod back 2mm so that it matched the original in terms of its relation to the MC. My MC is not original, as I have gone for the aftermarket equivalent that has a 1" bore instead of the factory 7/8" bore.

It will be a while before I know if this is all going to work, but I wanted to mention the difference between the OEM servo push rod position and the TR6 servo push rod. It is apparently a very important difference that is very easy to miss.
