I'm afraid you will struggle to find one its a discontinued Saab part ,you will probably have to convert servo and master cylinder to ford parts, see the facs upbove
The servo is a Ford part in either case. The Ford servos are now discontinued, but are still available new, if you can find them - at a premium!
For original new ( but expensive ) Saab type servo, try seekpart24.com in Germany. They may still have stock, TRW PSA 314.
Otherwise it's the Fiesta conversion which means replacing both the servo ( PSA 328 ) and m/cyl ( TRW / Lucas PMH 247 ) from the Fiesta Mk III, make sure it's the 22.2mm bore. Try fleabay.
You'll have to alter the pitch of the servo mounting holes in the bulkhead, or the servo will be 90 degrees out from upright.
You will also have to enlarge the clevis pin hole in the brake pedal to match the servo rod fork end.
The useful links Wiki is helpful, as is TVRGit's blog. Andrew's site is a mine of information. Also look at FAQ's at the top of the header on this forum.
For new PSA 328 servos, try Hans Daalhuisen in the Netherlands via hamada@kpnmail.nl
He supplied me last year & may still have some left. Very nice fella & a pleasure to deal with.
Whatever you do, remember safety first, it's brakes you're dealing with.

hI Chaps,
thanks for the info.
so, its direct fit SAAB version from Hans for £150+carriage or the Ford servo plus M/cyl and a bit of fettling?
Philpott
the link above didn't work for me for the ford bits by the way?
basically ive had my S2 for years and it was my daily for a while but has sat stored and unloved for last 5. Interiors shot and paint (pearlescent white) has suffered storage and has a damaged section on the bonnet (GT stripe to hide?). Im just gonna get it up and running and MOTd and may do the odd track day and hillclimb in it (hills are my passion), unless someone wants a project? Only think is I want my private plate off it hence MOTing. Have a load of replacement bits to bolt on that ive accrued and a clutch cylinder that's seized, so few bits to do before then.
given what its worth, I will probably end up keeping it and use a sunday blaster, but have too many toys, both road and track and SWMBO will have to be pacified lol

I hate to reopen the issue of safety and insurance again, but it seems to me that if, in the event of an incident, you can refer your insurers to the Print article it would help your case.
Please believe me, any remaining doubters, that the first thing an insurance underwriter will do, particularly in the case of a substantial claim (run into the back of someone giving rise to bodywork and whiplash!) is to pass it to one of the firms (I was about to quote a name!!) who exist purely to check to see if liability might be questionable. A recent case where the insured hadn't been 100% accurate could end up costing him £5-10,000. As they say, 'you have been warned'!!!!
