How to ...Fitting Focus/Seat Short master cylinder to mk2 servo modification for 1.8t

Tis odd that
So just for you I went and checked what the craic was

factory 16v mk2 golf master cylinder 22mm and cupra R same as focus 24mm

Wee note need new batteries



The same





Standard one on the inside


47mm



cupra/focus


44mm


hence you need to remove the spud and file it by 3mm


The follow up to above
Just for you mate

Standard Mk2 golf Servo



The Spud in the center

Wee pair of pliers ..grab da sucker and pull





And here it is ( Wee note some have a shim or two, Washers are shims ... look for these once you pull spud out )



Now stick da sucker in a drill



spin on file to remove 3mm..... KEEP THAT SHAPE



Measure before and as you go ...you can take it off but can't put it back on



I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ENOUGH

Maybe pin it to help members

 

Glad it's mk2 servo and not bits of work on the poopolol

 

How about just drilling the focus mcyl by 3mm ?? Is there enough material there to do this I wonder ..

 

lol

 

?
Surely the master cyl has plenty of metal to accommodate the 3mm required?

 

I'd say it's a lot easier to file 3mm of the spud than drill a neat accurate hole 3mm deeper

 

Are you asking or telling ..no answer required

I look at a problem and I look at ways I think is best to sort it, its what I do
If you're good at what you do, you get on and do it you don't explain yourself
What you see above is the best way to go about this.... hope this helps you

 

Now I'm even more confused

 

Eddie thinks his way does the job very well lol so why do it any other way ?
Don't think you need to take the mc off to get the spud out ???

 

I just don't want to take the servo out again
Now that was a pain In the ar5e to get back In

 

Eddie, what reservoir do you have on that focus one ?
Is it the seat version ?

 

The short one you see is A Seat Ibiza Cupra one with its reservoir
The focus one you can use the mk2 reservoir, just change the seals over to suit and file/remove the center divider
making sure to plug/seal master cylinder ports


Look at post 103 you will see I use the focus one on my car
Click on link below ..you can see both master cylinders

You can remove the spud with servo still in place

 

Sweet, just need to buy a master now

 

Don't linch me for this but what is the gain to this mod as there don't look much in the size of things to warrant it

 

You need to be clearer, Warrant what ? the gain is you can run the master cylinder as it should be fitted factory without the use of a spacer and an additional makeshift seal
This master cylinder will not work without the 3mm adjustment
Its about doing the thing right

Hope this helps you

 

If you have posts per page different to the forum default, that doesn`t work. Better to link to the actual post

ie MC In the car and on the Servo

What do you mean about the divider / seal ?


I hadn`t seen this done before, great mod and thanks for sharing

 

Nige flippin clever clogs lol

 

what i ment was what is the need for this over a standard mk2 setup?

as im hopeing to keep my brake setup as is on the golf im doing as it was effective enough for racing but im changeing the engine to an agu

 

No need at all for this mate If yours is effective enough for racing
But if you did want to fit one, this is how you would go about it
