RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

in the process of mounting the master cyl on the firewall i have the later on with the square resovior but in all the pics i've seen ppl have used the early type with the round resovior, is there a reason the square one can't be used was thought i might have something to do with the angle it sits any input apprec'd

or does anyone have an mk1 drum braked master cyl with resovior

cheers

these would be good, didn't know they had non boostered mk2 escorts in the uk from the factory mainly in the poverty packs

Joe,

been a while since I had these..........................




Lower one is MK1 Drum brake unit. Note spacer to fire wall.




UK cars didn't have twin system, on Mk1



The single picture unit came off of a . Note the different sizes in casting.

Inside is for rear brake. lines holes are different diameter, threads too.


Either way ya cut it the brakes are gonna be hard pedal, without booster.

Simon made this adjustable sexy push rod, which u will need as well.

For years I ran a tube, out of angled res, to stop spillage.





On the push in resivour they can be substituted for various European res, namely the Volvo one.

thanks for the info , you seem to have alot of pics..
that volvo res looks the go i don't want the angled one because even though it's not really going to be legal anyway i would like it to look sort of legal... do you know what model volvo it came off ??

cheers

made the adjustable rod, got a volvo resovior and got it all together, but haven't taken it for a road test yet.. just up and down the driveway a few times seems alright, if i'm happy with i'll pull it apart and get the mc recon'd and probably redo the steel lines from new stuff and flare them myself as the brake shop didn't seem to do that good of a job

also is there any dramas with brake lines running near the exhaust, didn't think much of it as there's one running real close from the factory(in the pic near the firewall)
