hi everyone,
I haven't been on the forum for some time. I have been busy though, and my striker blade is 99.9% complete.
The problem I have is sourcing a master cylinder to suit.
I have a fairly old kit with a suspended pedal box and live axle.
There is only one pushrod on the brake pedal, and i can only therefore fit a single chamber mc without serious cutting and shutting to fit
a floor mounted pedal box. I really don't want to do this and after three years it's time for some fun. Also I dont wanna chop my lovely
chassis to bits
or ruin the coating integrity I worked so hard to protect.
In short I need a lhd sierra m/c if anyone has one.
Has anyone encountered the same problem? How did you solve it?
A new part would be nice since it's so prominent in the engine bay.
I have been around the yards and suppliers, looked at tons of alternatives but nothing matches. Either the bore is wrong, I need .9 to
run my willwoods. Or not enough offtakes, 2 min required. If not those then the off takes foul the steering column!
Evenl willwood and rally design are unable to help, despite trying hard.
The two bolt mounting is positioned with the drillings running vertically which has scotched other alternatives too.
It's so bad even andy bates is unable to help!!!
Anything anyone? Please.
Cheers. Si

Thanks mike that was a brilliant idea and very typical of me not to think of it.
It is very similar looking to a fiesta one we bought thinking it would do the job.
However, the fiesta one has 2 further off takes opposite the ones in the photo which
Stick out a similar distance and foul our column.
I don't speak or read French so a question to the vendor may be fruitless, I'll try though
And may even buy on risk.
Whichever, thanks so much once again. Can I plus rep? I would if possible as that was really

Thanks, yes I muddled through and after help from mike via u2u I have ordered one from Germany that delivers to uk no probs.
The impossible achieved in minutes............only on locostbuilders!
The trouble we've had with that, you wouldn't Adam and eve it. If I only thought to check a lhd country, doh.
Lesson learnt.
