Complete brake system..

Hi guys,
Ive just been searching through the forum looking at what setup people are running, e.g. master cylinder sizes, single/double resevoirs..

I couldnt find much info, but I was just wondering what people prefer to use?

The cars a 1600 pinto, thats going to be used for road use with hopefully the occasional track day! Front brakes are rs200 escort calipers/discs and the rear are cortina (Atlas axle) drums...

Has anybody got any good links/ advice on set ups?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

That will be good enough.
Brakes were designed for a heavier car

Track or road, personally I would go for twin Girling or Wilwood m/c with a bias bar - that way you can change the m/c size on front or rear, then use the bias bar for fine tuning.

Im pretty sure that the brakes im using will be fine (as king as i find some to fit the back :mad.

My setup is near identical to yours (Std cortina at the front and capri at the back) I have a sierra MC 22mm which is probably the maximum you would want but works fine.
