Steering & Brake servo spring replacement

[Mike4130]

I've seen in the past some of you have removed the throttle & brake spring off the servo & replaced it with a piece of fuel line. Can anyone please post some pics of what the final product should look like? Thanks in advance.

I don't have a pic handy but all you do is cut a piece of fuel line the same length as the spring (about an inch) and replace the spring with it.

Don't forget the washer on the end!

Wouldn't this make the brakes extremely touchy? It seems like a spring would at least give it a little cushion rather than the solid tube causing the brakes to go from 0-100% ? What do you think? How do your brakes feel after doing this mod?

Its not as sensitive as you think...it can save your butt if you need to get it stopped quick.. Smart cheap mod!

Its not touchy at all but as bert stated it does make the brakes apply faster and hard for great stopping power.
