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

so its just an alternative to an original mk2 setup but no actual gains it just a nice adapted replacement?

 

I think so ..losing track here But I thats the one ... no actual adapted replacement but an alternative to fitting some other way which also works
well but original mk2 setup is ok for most racing when looking to carry more speed under braking to achieve actual gains without adapting keeping car original
I think

 

There you go mate ..not my pic's but sure

If you want to use the mk2 reservoir
The focus master cylinder has a lug of metal between the seals which will need removed Nige



Put it in a vice cut it off and gave it a file



You can then install the rubber seals & reservoir from your golf master cylinder

 

Its to provide some addtional space between the MC and cam cover / timing chain cover.

With standard mk2 mc and engine mounts you usually need to remove material off the mc. but the Seat items is shorter than the original mk2 item so less likely to knock / foul

 

Hence the Topic title
Topic explains itself

Fitting Focus/Seat Short master cylinder to mk2 servo modification for 1.8t
Its also 24mm as stated at the top also which will feed larger calipers.

 

just as i first asked then lol there is a small size difference witch is why i asked about it as im curious how much of a difference but the main one is the pipe feed ability

im glad joe turned up to help you answer it fasteddie as you didnt seem to think there was any difference and then joes answer was the clarification i was after

so how much more clearance is gained buy doing this as iv looked at many mk2 agu threads and never noticed a change of the mc for a clearance issue

 

I will leave it here... hope you get sorted mate

 

Lincs, you mean apart from the first post of the thread, 3rd line where he said the stock MK2 is 22mm and this is 24mm ? And the title of the thread where he said it was shorter ?


Not being funny, but Fasteddie couldn`t really spell the differences out any clearer...lol lol

 

There are two things here it seems.
The difference in the length of shaft that is in the servo, as Eddie has helpfully provided evidence on. The stubby needs to be modified or your brakes will bind

And the usual reason we use the stubby in the first which is generally the different length of the master cylinder outside the servo... The stubby provides more clearance between the two

But to fit it you need to follow eddies advice

Too much innuendo , Soz for going over again!

 

thanks again joe16v you answer the question with out the pointless sarcasum these forums seem to bring out in people

and the funny thing is that the measurements provided are for the internal not external lol

sometimes the sarcasum over rides the sense in these posts

cheers for your input nige

 

"and the funny thing is that the measurements provided are for the internal not external lol"

This is the difference I see you have posted your a mechanic, I wanted to be a mechanic but ended up cutting hair
Spent a bit of time posting this ...I now feel soo stupid how I got it soooo wrong
I thought this was a good idea ....Sorry to anyone who has been mislead by my topic ..was only trying to help

 

everyone makes mistakes fella but its the ones that admit they made one that are the decent ones

 

Thank you your the man/top mechanic well spotted ..trained eye and all that ...what what!
just make sure when you do yours you measure it external .......and let me know how that works out for you

nothing decent about me ..I'm to old

 

And fat from eating the buns that gambit doesn't nick ( bun thief ) lol

 

No no ..... well trim for an awl fella
The tramp was here the other day ....bla bla bla .all the awl talk ..Had me fit and set up a new meter head to his 16v heap free of charge ..he can do it

 

Mmmmmm metering heads k-jet ???

What can be done to tweek / improve a metering head ???I know KMI do something but I've got a few spare so fancy a play sometime post 90 any better for my track car ??? (Should we start a new thread ???)

 

You can shim the fuel pressure valve to raise fuel pressure then you have to readjust control pressure at warm up valve also you can check and set injectors individually by removing wee caps on top beside each injector outlet get yourself four babies bottles to check delivery by removing fuel relay
and bridging it with a push switch then lift fuel sensor plate and balance injector outputs

K Jetronic systems are able to provide all the fuel needed for modifications for street vehicles.The goal is to increase the amount of air entering the engine to increase power.The problem is that the flap(plate) is a serious restriction to airflow.To modify the airflow sensor is extremely difficult,but the plate itself is what makes the rest of K Jetronic components
operate.But all is not lost seeing that K Jetronic is not just limited to Volkswagen applications.Using an airflow sensor off of another K Jetronic equipped vehicle with a larger bore(plate) will dramatically increase airflow into the engine.

 

id ask your advice on a hair cut but having 4 kids has put pay to me having hair lol

to be honest i doubt im gonna use this setup as it works well as is so il leave it alone but i was curious on the benifits as to if it was worth the hassle of it but if these brakes were good enough for a volksworld race team im gonna be impressed if i manage to find the need to upgrade.it looks like they have fitted g60 up front and braided hoses all round and its got discs on the rear so i think il be set as car is still gonna be light weight so il find out,but im planning a day at cadwell park as its very close to me so il find out there i suppose lol lol

 

Just a quick question, what year and trim level Focus is the master cylinder from?

 

Ford Focus MK1 98-04 1.8 Petrol NON-ABS Brake Master Cylinder
