Default Master cylinder problems

Hi!
My rst brakes do disappear completely sometimes, no matter are brakes cool or hot.
I think problem can be master cylinder. Pedal goes 50% down and stops there but brakes do not work. Then releasing brakes and new try and brake may be working again.

Are master cylinder repair kit still available?

Mmmmm, that sounds nice.

Do you still have ABS?

Can only really be the master cylinder or servo. You'll not buy a new genuine 25mm master cylinder or repair kit IMO, been obsolete for years. There is one on Ebay though!!

No, i dont have abs anymore.
Okay ill watch that item, i can take whole package to sure my problems being fixed.
Would you give me some kind of price if i take it now?
Or can you recommend something alternative choice, from other ford?
I think brake servo can also be broken, can i use brake booster from any mk4 escort -> RST ?
