yeah getting there, also por 15 the inside of the drivers door,

forgot i had a couple of donor doors that have rusted out on the opposite side, so i will use the exact pieces from that i guess?

yeah man cut them up save you having to make the

bits you need.

hey man what was the master cylinder you used? it doesnt look like it bolts up to the original flange like a standard unit? Does your car have the mk2 pedal box or mk1? what was the deal with the shaft?

It's off a land rover, 22mm bore, yeah vertical mounts, but got a good price on it so makes up for that,

using a mk2 pedal box, as for the shaft, we found a bolt at the right length and welded it on to the bracket, as all it requires is a flat shaft end,

Ive just bought a 1inch bore land rover master with the right mounting brackets etc, same type that QCADTA used, double the price though.

can take pics if you want?

yeah man that would be great, im looking at ditching my booster too, I have also heard about using the 25mm land rover unit, any info on them would be great. Have you used your brakes at all? im really interested in finding out how heavy the pedal is

how have you run the lines? did you use a proportioning valve at all?

howcome you bought another master cylinder?

ill try get some more info, the other master cylinder is for the other car.

haven't used the brakes yet, but we did a full bleed and they feel really solid now, was warned to have a play before i go on the road as the bite time will be different.

as for the lines i bought new valve parts(idk right name) and just cut the old lines and made them to suit.

not using a proportioning valve, don't have a use for it at this stage as far as i can see?

pedals firm but still locks up under hard braking. just have to make a retaining bush for the actuating arm from the pedal as there is no internal circlip on the landrover m/c like the escort one. other than that a piece of piss to sort.

any pics of this stuff would be great :D , where did you guys get the master cylinder(part number?) and what did it cost?

proportioning valve would be used if your rear brakes lock up before your fronts

new valve parts? other than the master cylinder what else did you need apart from fittings?

all ive ever done is just use

the master cylinder from a mk3/4/5 cortina

bolts up to the same holes and uses the same

brake lines as the mk2 and for the rod

i just measures the lengh i needed and cut the long

barke booster one down.

cheers

Same way I did it, except I had to file the hole in the firewall out a few mm's to get the master to fit in.

The Ford master cylinder should provide ample stopping power too, I ran a tiny little hillman hunter master cylinder for ages in my old van, pedal felt mint and it stopped sweet as -the hunter master is a single line out cylinder with a really small bore.

Oh yeah MK2 Escorts, some Transits, Sierra's etc use the same master cyl as mk3/4/5 Cortinas (along with the same calipers and drums)
