if you only have one large outlet and one small then you have a series 2 abs master cylinder you need an xr3i or s1 master with 4 outlets 2 large and 2 small these are still readily available from places like unipart, andrew pages, general traffic and even ebay for around 40 quid

there is 4 outlets, but only 1 of them is bigger than the rest..i have this going to the front o/s caliper...the other front is linked to 1 of the 3 remaining smaller outlets.. the brakes now work but the pedal is still a bit softer than i would of liked..brakes are definitely bled correct and this is the last thing that hasnt been double checked
