Aaarghh - Servo Reaction Valve plastic insert chucked away

Hello

I think, I thought that the reaction valve kit included the plastic plunger thing that goes inside the diaphram. It does not, so now I am left with two useless servos on my Federal 2000TC. I managed to scrape up one from a spare servo I had in a pile but I am missing the other. I could not find on any of the usual suspects web sites.

Anyone have one of these collecting dust?

Pic attached in case my vague description is insufficient...........

Thanks

Hello

Thanks very much for taking the time to look - I appreciate that. I just ordered one and I can ship it to family who can forward it on, probably stashed inside more surplus Xmas cake.....I googled the PN of the servo itself and was expecting to see a raft of different vehicles come up but was disappointed that it only referenced the P6. I should have expect the reaction valve to be common to more types however I was mired in the latest disappointment of my obsessive compulsive behaviour of throwing away "unrequired" parts only milliseconds after having them sit on the bench. If your parts come from 5000 miles away being a hoarder is the way to go. What makes it even worse is I just got round to this after having the car sit for months and I thought it would finally back on the road again.
 
The bit in the photo is common to all the Lockheed servos. The things that make the unit unique to the P6 (not quite true, but close) is the reaction piston size & main bore size combo, Rover going for an unusually high boost ratio for the P6.

Boosters were made in Oz by PBR in several sizes. I have a chart somewhere showing the different bores used, and output pressures. Somebody may find them useful -the P6 does get a mention.
