Default Master cylinder/servo upgrade

Fitted a compbrake pedal box to my s2 when i noticed my servo was leaking, can't stand the peddle feel so it'll be coming off,,

I know everyone fits mondeo servo set ups, supposedly a 25mm master cyl?

has anyone got any decent pics of them fitted, or part numbers for correct one, all the mk3 mondeo ones i look at seem to be 23mm master cylinders?

I read somewhere that Mitsu Evo 7,8,9 servo etc can be fitted, not scared with a welder to modify as required so might get on eBay and look at them,

any info or thoughts appreciated!

cheers

Sorry mate i thought id replied!!

In all fairness i could prob get used to it,, but i really have to stamp on the pedal to get desired effect,,obviously not being servo assisted will do this!

But maybe with it being compbrake low quality master cyls this could make it worse? not had experience with better makes like wilwood etc so can't really say!

cheers

Its why i opted for the Tilton jobbie, may have cost me around a grand with fitting, cylinders and res but hopefully transfrom the way the brakes work, helps foe then hyro clutch too!
