Default Master Cylinders

Right i have the same problem as everyone else. I have a "25" Master Cylinder and its started weeping from the rear i know you cant get parts for them or the cylinders themselves, but what i need to know is can you use the 22 or 23 cylinders with the rst servo and also if they will be ok to use with my brake set-up, standard rears and cossie 4 pot fronts?

Not alot of choice unless you can source a good 2nd hand one (i bought one and it was fucked lol), a 22 or 23 will do the job but with a bit more pedal travel. I run standard rear and 4x4 calipers up front and still works ok with the 22mm cylinder.

modify the brackets and fit a mondeo one, they're lighter on the pedal, but it is a bit of work to get them in there.

the whole lot will need swapping to be better, no idea if the master cylinder will work on the escort servo.
