An 1850 brake servo is perfectly acceptable for Sprint applications, with performance differences between negligible and undetectable during normal and spirited driving conditions. Many owners successfully run 1850 servos on Sprint cars, finding the slightly different pedal feel actually provides better brake modulation.

Sprint brake servo failure is typically caused by the unique Bakelite diaphragm disc shattering, often triggered by operating the brake pedal when the master cylinder is empty or removed. These Bakelite components are virtually unique to the Sprint servo and are now obsolete, making rebuilding difficult or impossible.

Brake master cylinder bore size selection depends on your specific brake upgrade, but generally matching the original specification maintains proper pedal travel and effort characteristics. Larger bore sizes reduce pedal effort but increase travel, and smaller bores provide more brake force multiplication at the cost of increased pedal pressure.

Brake bias setup with uprated components requires careful consideration of front-to-rear brake force distribution, typically achieved through adjustable bias valves or dual master cylinder systems with balance bars. The Sprint's original rear wheel cylinders are 19mm diameter, but some suppliers may incorrectly supply smaller 17mm units which will affect brake balance.
