Yes, just look for Reyland kit. Do a search for Reyland Hydraulic on here and there are loads of pics. The Reyland kit comes with a plate to go on the bulkhead. Do you actually mean master cylinder INSIDE the car? normally they mount so only the nose comes inside the car?

I have seen some pics on here though with different set up.

I'm wanting the full cylinder to be inside of the car away from the heat of the exhaust.

I have the Reyland kit in my 2wd, never had an issue with exhaust heat affecting anything.

You can always wrap it in reflecta gold or send it off to Zircotec (expensive and may not be able to do it because of heat) better still send off the down-pipe and never worry (go for black though - wish I had)

You can also buy heat proofing materials from demon tweeks to make up shields but as soooo many have been fitted you would know if there was a faliure or fire hazard.

To fit is to a standard pedal box will take a bit of fabrication, you will need to find something that moves up on the pivot with a straight line action with no more than 5 degrees of deflection in the travel (to protect the piston) Fiddly job with the pedals out the car but with enough fabrication you could do it but would be trial and error and not sure if it would bleed up 100% correctly.

Coley, it looks like you had to cut and reposition the pedal? Is that because the pedal box sits at a different angle now to make it work. I assume you have focus pedal box on focus bulkhead? Nicely done though....as always

Hi Toby it's a saf pedal box that I used on my focos it bolts up as it should the only cuts was the pedals as I made them one inch longer as the bulk head works taller when it's in a focus . I did it this way as all focus cosworths are one off mo two the same and did not have the same room on my bulk head as a saf or escort have even after modding the down pipe so it needed to come into the car . The one bad thing about it it's a basterd to bleed
