Default S2 servo and master cylinder

right got one of these for my series 1 (upgrade) and new cos4wd front callipers and 2wd rears.

This is where it goes wrong, the series 1 master cylinder has 4 out lets and the series 2 only 2 am i right in thinking that on a series 1 the 4 go to each wheel and on a series 2 the 2 outlets go to front and back with t piece`s.

I f this is the case can i ditch the old crap series 1 set up and use the series 2 set up with just the 2 out lets and 2 t`pieces

safechav any ideas mate and any one else

Yes thats the way,one outlet to do the fronts and the other outlet to do the backs.You can put a bias valve into the rear line beside the handbrake to settle the rear bias and stop the backs from locking up.Regards Micky

You would be better to split the system diagonally as they are on a series 2, but other than that yes you have the right idea

One outlet runs front left and rear right, the other outlet runs front right and rear left.

The theory being if a brake fails you still maintain the braking of one front and one rear brake

If you are going to runa bias valve then i dont think you can run diagonally split, not 100% on that though

You just need 2 bias valves if you run diagonal split

Andy, would you like to try some 285mm discs and alloy calipers before going all out changing stuff. Is your car on the road ?

I have a loan set that I would like to try on a few cars for feedback.

They fit under 15"
