Escort master cylinder
planetester - 24/3/03 at 09:12 PM

my donor escort is a 1.3l registered in 1980 on 'W'. the brake master cylinder has one pipe for the rear brakes & individual pipes for each front& no servo, the haynes manual shows only one connection for the front & photo's of master cylinders on e-bay show only one front & one rear connection, as my car was one of the last made, did fords start using another master cylinder & what othe car was it used on--this is so I can get a seal kit for it,

can anyone advise me

thanks in advance

looked for one myself - you can't get them -Itried ford and motor factor companies . You can get a replacement / recon one , but they cost about £70 .
I've been lthinking of a sierra one minus the servo , set at a slight angle, or more likely a new sva approved one from elsewhere

Have you tried Lucas ( the starter motor / alternator people ) for your seal kit? They have supplied me with seal kits for Cortina front callipers and I have on order front brake pads cw fitting kit and seal kits for Sierra rear callipers. Excellent for an outlet only 7 mile from my home.
