Brake m/cyl.-pedal.
Mike McKinstry - 23/4/02 at 04:35 PM

Hi All,this may sound really stupid but I am trying to use sierra master cylinder in MK but am not sure how to or if I can use existing rod which obviously passed through servo-can this be cut and if so how is it fitted back into and held in cylinder??
Also ,any tips on connecting to MK pedals or do I have to add or modify end of rod for pedal to sit in to.
Also any tips on clutch cables for pinto in mk-mk recommends mk 2 escort but I have seen on build site std. sierra used but do not understand how-is brkt fitted to chassis before passing through bulk head?-again any tips on connecting to pedal.
Any help would be most appreciated,thanks Mike.

Yo Mike,the push rod sits in a hole in the master whitch is about 13mm deep,it wont fall out,drill through the pedal and use original clevis pin,as for cables i would use mk 2 escort as it has an adjuster built in and seirra dosnt hth

Hi Mike / Bob

I got your pictures and opened them no problem.
Mike, they were zipped so you need to get hold of something like winzip to unzip them. Try http://www.winzip.com and download the free trial version.

Hope this helps,
