im using the cortina setup as well but i bought the car like this and it does the job just great

hey !! i got some pics on here for you.. my mk2 has been parked up for a while and i had to fight off some juicy Redbacks and 42deg heat to access the engine bay !! Oh and that funny bottle shaped thing a pipe goes into is a adj bias valve....needed when i done the rear disk setup, cheers

Hi guys,

After meeting one of the guys on a recent Capri cruise he showed me his Master cylinder upgarde for his car and spoke highly of the braking.
So i have decided to use the following setup:

Land-Rover Defender Master Cylinder. Part Reference NRC8690


Reservoir of a Rover SE2


I have yet to fit it but with post pics and let you know how i rate it

I fitted it all together last week,bleed it twice and put new pads in.
WOW!! After taking it for a spin to bed the pads in I'm totally wrapped with the result.
The pedal feel is so much firmer and the stopping distance comparded to before is huge. [:u]

So - Did it just bolt onto the booster without modification?

Yeah more or less. Just had to put 2 different fittings on the 2 lines that go into the master cylinder.
The reason for the Rover SE2 reservoir is because the Land Rover one is too close to the bonnet, it holds heaps of fluid too.

I would recommend to anyone to do their home work first,especially when it comes to brakes!
If in doubt, talk to a Qualified brake expert first

Guys I have just fitted volvo 4 pot calipers to my Escort. I am using a Bias Pedal Box with Sierra calipers on the rear. I am having problems getting the brakes working properly. Does anyone know the correct method of bleeding the 4 pots. There are 3 bleed nipples on each of the volvo caliper, (1 each on the sierra). I have started at the furthest away calipers and bled in this order: Drivers Rear, Passengers Rear, Passengers Front,Drivers Front. Any help would be great. Cheers

I found doing the bleed valve on the outside that you have to take the wheel off to bleed seems to do it best. Don't know why.
