thanks for all the advice guys:)

mine is the Spanish type with the spacer,

i think i will start by shortening the spacer, and if that isnt far enough i will think again.

Thanks again.

Have you managed to sort this yet? I'm using a different engine but have the same servo issue. I thought I could just remove the spacer and shorten the push rod but found the booster stud pattern doesn't match the bulk head

Probably easier to get the right one than modify the wrong one lol
It's the same as the sj one.....bolts straight up, no mods needed to the servo/bulkhead etc. Unless like me you had a 410 that didn't originally had a servo.

Can you not just drill new holes through the bulkhead??

I took another look at the servo in the wkend and it actually only has 2 studs threaded into it. I guess it could be drilled and fix in a couple of rivnuts and re drill the bulkhead for the other 2 if it came to it but if a second hand servo is not to expensive I would sooner take that option.
