Very interested in this idea too.

I'm betting my AP 4-Pots will need a bigger master cylinder to operate at their best ;-)

All info appreciated.

do i have to mess with mine if i'm putting 4x4 cossie calipers on my fiesta?????

by **sjh** on Thu Mar 06, 2003 1:25 pm

was simple i looked round scrap yards at mk 5 servos and cylinders and found the van one to have bigger servos which will assist it better. the van one is obviously larger due to the weight in the back of the van.

all i had to do is drill two holes in the mounting panel because the studs are ofset slightly. I shortend the link bar by 20mm. re shaped the hoses a bit all fittings were the same their are four outlets on the master cylinder same as on the fiesta one.

it took me about 20 mins

tools used 10 mm drill bit.
hack saw
mig welder.

i have escort cossie rear calipers and 270mm vented disks the front has willwood four pots and 285 disks. It has improved the braking and works alot better with the calipers. I have also fitted a bias valve to limit the back brakes a bit.

total mod cost 20 quid!!!

Anyone looked into fitting a mondeo servo? - They're huuuge!

by **fiesta_fras** on Sun Mar 09, 2003 2:01 am

haven all the mondys got ABS as standard?

by **unknown_user** on Sun Mar 09, 2003 2:07 am

Does any1 know [ERRR] the biggest servos are that fit on a 2l fiesta? how much do servos n master cylinders go for? any ideal if mondeo front back and servos etc would fit? basicly i want the biggest discs i can get to fit behind my 15inch 195 venoms with the best stopping power with out spending a huge amount? :lol:

by **James-UK** on Sun Mar 09, 2003 3:47 am

Don't know about the ABS - Would it matter?

by **fiesta_fras** on Mon Mar 10, 2003 12:39 pm

not sure, last mondy i saw had a tiny stuby little master cylinder and a massive servo, im pretty sure a fiesta master cylinder wouldn bolt on a mondy servo, unless some1 knows different

by **James-UK** on Tue Mar 11, 2003 12:30 am

Well, i've got a mondeo master cyclinder and servo here, so if anyone has a good picture of a 2i master cyclinder i'll say if it'll fit!

However, can't the mondeo master cyclinder be used aswell? :-?

by **sjh** on Mon Apr 07, 2003 3:46 pm

ive got piccies of my master cylinder conversion but do not know how to get them into a post they are uploaded into my gallery.

by **unknown_user** on Tue Apr 08, 2003 10:48 am

put that battery in the boot?

by **James-UK** on Sat Apr 12, 2003 1:20 pm

Re: ABS

Not all Mondeo's had ABS... After digging my servo out from the shed it has a normal style master cylinder

by **xrsi** on Mon Sep 08, 2003 5:40 pm

bttt - so all you really need is the servo and master cylinder also did you drill the holes on the servo bracket or the servo?? woudnt of thought the servo... but making sure!

by **Stoned** on Mon Sep 08, 2003 7:25 pm

You need the pin on the end too like this

And as far as sjh's instructions go, yes you drill into the mount and not into the servo. If you did I think you would find it might not work too well

Mine is booked in next tuesday for fitment

The hardest part is getting a decent quality servo unit etc from a Escort, tis a bugger to get out.

by **sjh** on Mon Sep 15, 2003 12:42 pm

good luck for tomorrow stoned post some piccies once done.

havnt actually tested my mod yet as the car has been off the road being sprayed etc.

i got 285 disks on the front with willwood fours escort cossie disks and calipers on the rear i have placed a porpotioning valve in line to reduce flow to rear disks.

laters Si.

Ps na i wouldnt drill through servo bit stupid if I did.

by **xrsi** on Mon Sep 15, 2003 4:26 pm

was just making sure... you didnt make it that clear... was thinking would be bit sily drilling servo tho

plus...

mines shinyer than yours!!

by **Stoned** on Tue Sep 16, 2003 6:31 pm

Well I got my Mondeo V6 brakes on, but the brake cylinder wont be done until next Thursday

I cant wait until it's done. With the new calipers my brake pedal goes halfway down before it even starts to bite. And with the new pads and discs the braking effect is frankly rubbish

I hope these pads sort themself out soon!!

by **dannyboy** on Tue Sep 16, 2003 6:58 pm

get some pics up pls Stoned

Dan

by **Stoned** on Tue Sep 16, 2003 7:09 pm

of what mate, my V6 brakes?

Thats the only thing done today, the new brake cylinder and servo wont be fitted until next Thursday now :cry:

Still, it should be wicked once it's done and all bedded in. I'm on a mission now to get rear discs also.

by **MikeyXR2i** on Tue Sep 16, 2003 9:20 pm

Well when you do get the Master cylinder sorted, there is a 200% improvement, and you do have to watch how hard you hit the pedal, the bite is that great and is right at the top. Mine is anyway.
