Hi I have a spare Sierra master cylinder that was sold to me on a nearly new basis but I haven't got the reservoir or seals. I struggled to find the reservoir for sale on its own so you might need to try a breakers yard. U2U me if you're interested. £5 + p&p.
Cheers Alex

I've got a perfectly good used Sierra one I don't need, as I replaced it to go for one with a smaller bore.

I wouldn't recommend using the Sierra one though - a smaller bore Fiesta one, or Fiat like I used is much better, and no more expensive.

I have a new MK2 Fiesta one



Dont have the reservoir but could be converted to remote type using part number 7 here:

Rich, do you know the outlet sizes? Im looking for them to be M10x1mm. I need one with a res on top as thats how the build is set up, so if I can find a res may well have this.........

The Fiesta cylinder has same mounting points for res. as a sierra one but fiesta cylinder mounts flat, just fitted one last winter does give better brake feel if I remember the outlets are two different sizes.

I would NOT fit second hand brake parts your life, or someone elses could depend on it.

www.brakeparts.co.uk

Been using them for the last 6 years after hearing about them on here.

All good so far. (used them for my Viento, Landy, 2 x fiesta, Volvo 850) So not just a once off purchase!

Andy, I'm away from home at the moment but will get an answer for you tomorrow evening.

OK, not sure how this works but the front two connections are one each of 12mm x1mm and 10mm x 1mm and the same for the rear two connections.
Yellow cap is 10mm x 1mm and red cap is 12mm x 1mm.
Hope this helps
