Default Standard ABS Master Cylinder in a 2WD Cosworth

Hi Guys

Can I use the Standard ABS Master Cylinder from a 2.0L DOHC Sierra in my 2WD Cossie? I'm having some problems with the unit even after rebuilding it...
Is there a problem because of the 4 pot in the 2WD cossie VS the 2 pot in the Standard/4x4 ones?
I've read somewhere that they are not compatible and it will make the pedal travel a lot more but haven´t found any info on that.

Can someone help?

Thanks

Yes you can use the ABS master cylinder from a standard DOHC Sierra. I also use one in combination with Cosworth 2wd brakes and it works perfectly. The front calliper pistons are around the same size and the rears are exactly the same.

When I mentioned master cylinder I meant the whole deal. The pump, master cylinder, etc...
