just spoke to him and all mk3 cortinas had 2 pipe master cylinders. late mk4 and all mk5's had 3 pipes. he thinks he may have a used 2 pipe one in his garage and will look later on.
you can use the 3 pipe ones and just blank one of the outlets off,but all the outlets on the 3 pipe ones are for 10mm unions where as the original 2 pipe ones are one 10mm and one 13mm. or you can use a 3 pipe one and just run 2 seperate pipes to the front calipers.
he said the best place to look for bits and advice is on buy sell cortina.
