Default Anyone installed an All-Makes booster servo?

If I install the All-Makes 4x4 booster servo with the factory bulkhead spacer (per Rave manual), the brake pedal won't reach the stop light switch. If I omit the spacer then it reaches. Which is the correct way to install it? With the spacer or without?

this has got to be a common thing

The All Makes is about $189 versus TRW for $269. So you all replaced the the failed Lucas with TRW and not All-Makes?

to add to the mystery ( or maybe misery).....today I replaced the master cyl/servo assy on my '95 with a used assy from a reputable seller.....I'm here to tell ya folks , Imeasured both assys against each other and they were the same, but after I instaled the new used one, I had the same issue as above, and had to remove it and remove the spacer, all ok after that.....wtf....

I have a theory even though everything "looked" ok....with the original assy in there and not working well at all....upon occasion I had both feet on the pedal to get it to stop( it was that bad) and possibly that stretched or pushed the firewall out just enough to make a replacement not fit

Allmakes is good, heard recently bad omens about TRW brake kit. Allmakes is part of the Bearmach, Allmakes and Britpart organisation, Britpart have upped their game considerably in the past year. Even Landrover parts are made in eastern europe and they charge 3x the price for them. The only saving grace about LR is they exert good QC on sub contracts.
