could a escort cosworth brake servo and master cylinder be adapted to be used on a mk3 fiesta?

I can't tell you if it will fit..

just one question ..

why fit a cosworth master cylinder as the standard cylinder is up to the job for a 278mm conversion .. if you want more direct braking or an even bigger conversion (300mm) you could use a RS2000 mk5 master cylinder.. but that brake feel is personal.

I've just fitted rs2000 rears and 278mm cosworth brakes to my fez and they dont actually work and are 100% bled....

With my setup (278mm front and rs2000 rears) it works great..

my mate got a bruised shoulder of the brake force from when we tested the brakes..

4 locking wheels on full brake force .. (when going 60).. and that with the standard (xr2i) master cylinder..

the pedal travel is a BIT more.. but then again .. it gives more pedal feel..

If you want quicker response from the setup .. you need to enlarge the master cylinder (rs2000 is up for that job)

If your setup isn't fully working.. get it checked..
if the standard master cylinder is of a XR2i or bigger.. it should be ok..
If you have the master cylinder of a 1.1 well .. change it

thanks for the reply jur could you tell me how you go about fitting rs2000 rear brakes and whats needed for the conversion

- RS2000 discs
- RS2000 handbrake cable
- RS2000 callipers
- RS2000 rear axle setup (excl the axle itsel, but with mounting plate and hub)
- (10mm) longer hub bolts of the correct strength (Sierra cosworth will do)
- a 20mm long 16mm diameter 'pipe' to serve as a fixed adjustment of the handrake cable
- Ka spacers (about 5 quid each) finiscode:1033601 .. these need to be modified slightly to fit firmly and flat behind the mounting plate..

Adjusting the Ka spacers.
- cut then horizontally .. and remove about 5mm of material.
- modifiy the outer edges slight so the fit within the indented circle on the back of the mounting plate, otherwise the spacer won't be fitted on a flat surface .. and will break when fixed.

and this conversion fits on to the standard mk3 fiesta rear beam?

and this conversion fits on to the standard mk3 fiesta rear beam?

On fits on my (standard FRST) beam..
the FRST isn't that different (appart from the anti roll bar) from other MK3 beams..

so ehhm yes it would
