Default Brake Reservoir for Non-ABS

I'm currently removing the ABS on my LHD S2. I still want to retain the 25mm master cylinder but can't find the right brake reservoir without the return lines from the ABS. My Ford Parts dealer got me a new reservoir for a car without ABS and without the return lines but it won't fit. The two ports that clip onto the master cylinder are slightly to big. Anybody got a FINIS number from a part that will fit?

You need to show a pic of the master cylinder so we can understand what type you have.

On the side of the old res im guessing there is now 2 holes where the abs pipes connected to?

Just connect these with some hosing about 4 inches long, problem solved.

Here are the pics




strangely the LHD version is complete straight on the upper side of the reservoir, whereat the RHD always seems to have an angle downwards to the front of the car. I hope you understand what I mean.

I don't know if it will pass the strict TÜV, that's the german MOT just by connecting the open lines.

The new one does not look like a Mk4 item. Looks like a Mk5 one or even a fiesta.?

It's listed for Escort MK3 and MK4 and for Fiesta MK2 (XR2). Finis is 6081262. Don't think there was part number on the package, but will look later.
