brake system components?
I'm going to use escort mk2 master cylinder and calipers/wheel cylinders, so it should all fork together but it leaves me with a few questions
that searches on this forum havent answered.
1 Will it need any form of aditional brake balance/pressure reduction valve adding to the system.
2 For the SVA I've got a reserviour complete with a level switch which sould be all right, but does the hydraulic brake system need any other
form of failure sensing for the warning light
3 The MC has 3 outlets, a single and a pair. I presume the front lines go to the pair and the rear line goes to the single, but i'm not 100% and
the haynes manual is not clear to say the least. Theres no brake lines left on the escort as a guide either.
Any help much apreciated.

1. Probably not. I have M16 fronts and 8" drumbrake/live axle rear fitted with bigger wheel cyl's and it passed fine.
2. Level switch in reservoir is enough. It's usually wired to light up with handbrake on as a check for the bulb. No other system is
required.
3. Usually twin outlets feed the front brakes and single outlet runs to the rear of the car. It feeds one cylinder/drumbrake direct then from there it
goes back across the live axle to the second cylinder/drumbrake. The first drumbrake has no bleedscrew and all the bleeding is/was supposed to be done
via the second cylinder/brake.
