Mk4 or 5 cortina

Daz

Looking for abrake master cylinder and resovoir...any body got one lying around??

vocky

should be the same for most fords of the late 70's dunno..

capri, granada etc

main difference will be if it's a german build or english built

Hareng

As sir Vocky says depends on whether German or English built. Ghia, Cologne V6 and most sports models were German from 1981/2.

Have a look at these:-

Thanks for the links hareng....

Had alot of trouble finding one locally....ford dont stock them or cant get them anymore,
Its for a car we had in for mot,its a kit car based ona 1979 cortina m4,and the resovoir is leaking from where it seats against the cylinder,managed to source a seal kit but the plastic on the bottom of the res has distorted over time,so the new seal is no good either...

And me i scrapped my 2.0S in 1989, same running gear and only the Kenlowe and ceramic race clutch was any good, mind you took it round the clock 2.4 times. Quicker than my ZE2.2 Veccy and more economical. Serious mods wave bye bye to the 2.8 Colognes.
I could do some how 2 on these things :cry:

Its more than likely going to be the British one Daz, i would have a word with the shop in Kidderminster if you can get the part number.

Daz

I messaged the seller on one of the items,,,gonna see wot he's got and wot will fit....

Daz

Well would you believe how hard it is to find one of these....Found out that its actually off a mk3 cortina,and nbody anywhere has got one...but think we might be able to get a landrover 90 one too fit...lol

Sounds like it all fun Daz 🙂

Pretty much near on impossible then Daz, looking around for a 30 year old+ part. Its the more rounded along the side wings than 4 or 5.
Dutton Pheaton by any chance never liked, think there were a couple of others.
Tell him he will be better off with a new servo and master cylinder ie Escort 1&2, Capri 2&3, Cortina 4, Granny possibly a Tranny V4. These will be off the shelf in abundance, still used in motor racing today.

Daz

Well got the landy cylinder today..bolts on a treat...but cant get the servo pipe on now....so my boss is searching for a another vacumn elbow to fit the servo...(got more chance of shagging jordan i think)like you said hareng it wud be better to fit a complete unit of something more available...
