Looking to upgrade my brake system so was wondering as its now quite difficult to get the mk2 mondeo servo & master cylinder is the mk3 servo & master cylinder the same? I can get a mk3 easily from local breakers so was wondering if anyone had done this with the mk3

iv got a mk 6 escort one on mine bud and its a worthwhile upgrade very worthwhile ,, mk 1 mondeo is meant to be the straight swap the escort one needed a bit of messing about to fit but if u can change it for a bigger one id deffo do it

I actually have a mk5 escort servo & master cylinder in my garage Mikey but was thinking the mondeo one would be more suitable cos I'll be running st170 300mm fronts & focus rs rears so need more fluid capacity too. Also thinking of making a strengthening plate for the mountings on the servo, gud idea?

have you not got a metal leg going from the servo bracket down to something that makes it a bit more rigid ,i think the mondeo one is easier to fit ,,,theres a guide on here

The escort one needs welding, as the rod that connects the brake bar to the servo/mc is too long and constantly pressurises te braking system NOT GOOD had this myself and locks the brakes on more and more as you drive, it either needs to be cut down and re welded or spacers put behind the servo, but be warned the amount of spacers needed to stop the pressurising happening leaves very little thread holding the servo on.. Much easier to use a mondeo servo, the escort m/c does fit with the mondeo servo and works ok. This is what I'm using currently but will be changing the m/c to a mondeo one for piece of mind

Yea mikey I have that but were talkin about plating both sides of the bulkhead & welding & bonding them on, my mates an engineer so it up to him to sort

Getting the escort rod shortened aint a problem Russ its weither the mondeo mk3 servos rod is the same length as the fiesta & if the bolt patterns on the servo are the same as the mk1&2 mondeo for ease of fitment. Guess its gonna be a trial & error session if nobody can tell me lol

[BOBFRST]

I have matey but it doesnt say anything about the mk3 mondeo servo so i'll just have to make it fit lol
