Mk2 Escort rear brake cylinder diameter

Hi,Can anyone confirm what the rear brake cylinder diameter is for a Mk2 Escort?

Master Cylinder repair kit part no.

Anybody have a part number for a brake master cylinder repair kit (late type, for a MkII)? It's been way too long since I've done this job, but I seem to recall that in the past they were available either with just some new seals or a more comprehensive package that included springs etc. My searchin..

Mazda 323 disk on MK2?

Sorry for having for no pics on hand, but I was looking to replace a very rusty set of ventilated disk rotors on the front of the Mk2 I purchased. They are DBA disks (DBA 930 part no on back), which mean they are for a Mazda 323, not Escort.A call to the local brake place confirmed this, but had no ..
