snoopaloopa Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Should do it ok I would have thought, I'm running 4 pots on the front and the 130 rear discs on a standard servo with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 the 130spec one is ideal for calipers with bigger / more pistons; its discontinued by ford but it can be had as a pattern part (or could a few years back as my friendly ford dealer helped me track one down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For desired stopping power the question you should be asking is "Will my standard master cylinder be up to the job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naylor2006 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I replaced my failed master cylinder with a pattern part which failed instantly on mondeo fronts and rs2k rears, and so did its replacement. Bad luck probably but the gen ford one which was more expensive did the job, it was an escort mk6 1.6/1.8 part rather than 130 spec one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
