Not as simple as that !

Yes an indy is half the weight of a sierra but you run into a problem with lack of pedal leverage.

For reasonable pedal pressure you need a non-servo (smaller bore) master cylinder.
Westfield use a 0.7" bore master cylinder, Sierra master cylinders are 0.81" or 0.84" bore.

Been covered many times.

O.k only if you site the pivot as low as possible.. British trident, it's a good point, most overlook... I wish that MK would put the master cylinder about 10cm lower than they do it would make the ratio about right (5:1 ish)..

If they did that your heel would be scraping on the floor... we have a Sierra MC and all is well - the fr/rr bias is great too (we have no bias valve) with disc's on't rear's.

Thats interesting to know as I have a rear disc set up from an XR4x4 I was thinking of adding but was unsure of bias complications.
