Hi people

Iv got a rs turbo but Iv fitted a pedal box and don't know what master cylinders to use a bit lost

Anyone know what brake pressure cylinders I need

Thanks all

 

not without telling us what calipers/drums you have

 

I found many years ago that some Orion master cylinders are a bigger bore than the series 2 RS Turbo version.

Take a look at my website: link in sig - click on first (missing) picture to enter 'Escort Upgrades'. You'll find the Brakes section in the menu on the left hand side.

 

Hi people sorry about that Iv got st170 on fronts and standard drums on rear

I need 2 separate master cylinders 1 for the front and 1 for the rear....



Thanks all

 

usual is .625 front and .7 rear

 

If it's one of those Compbrake pedal boxes bin it. If heard nothing but bad things about them, I got rid of mine before it even saw the road. If it's a proper floor mount as Nige says or I'm running .7 front .75 rear and the braking, so far, seems spot on.

 

pedal box should be just that. A box at the end of pedals housing the cylinders.

Not a box located the opposite side of engine bay linked by a bulkhead bracket bars and bodged jobs.

The problem with the mk3/4 is that they were designed the proper way round LHD. When converted to lame hand drive it got messed up with linkage bars. Hence brakes always have issues if not sorted right.

There will be a right up I done in fastford mag soon that will be a good read for you.
