S2 master cylinder brake pipes
Hi all im in the middle of my zt build and need a bit of help with my Brake pipes. Basically im fitting a 25mm MC from a S2 into my mk3 escort iv removed all of my brake pipes so i can start totally fresh. The S2 MC only has 2 outlets, now i know im ment to run the pipes like this...
Front MC outlet - nearside front and off side rear (via a t)
Rear MC outlet - offside front and nearside rear (visa t)
But my confusion is the front outlet on the MC has a bigger bore size then ther rear, could this give me a brake imbalance due to the size difference?
Next question
Would it be ok to run the brake pipes so the front MC outlet goes to both front calipers and the rear MC outlet goes to both rear calipers? As i plan to fit an inline adjustable bias valve this way i won't need 2 valves!
Cheers rob

you have done it the wrong way round mate.
the mk3 has the better brake setup using the front compensators which it sounds like you have removed.
what compensators were you planning on running? surely not s2 setup.
should of left everything how it was if it was working. if not fixed it.
fitting t piece on the inner wing is not right!
and in answer to your question. no you cant run both front off same outlet.

I have done something like this. Well used orginal rs master. The outlet closest to the bumper goes to a t piece in left wing . From this it goes to the left caliper and also over to the right caliper. For the other outlet it goes to a bias valve on the left strut then under the car where it splits left and right to the wheels. I did use a xr3i res bottle though.
Pretty sure this is like other setups in here

I brought the car as a bare shell so no calipers no servo no compensators nothing! Iv fitted cossie calipers and discs all round and a s2 25mm master cylinder and servo iv just got to plumb the lot in and trying to find the best way to do it
So how do people run an adjustable bias valve for the rears when converting to rear discs??
