Are you sure about the maths there? With the 4-pots you've got a total
3060mm2 of cylinder per wheel (regardless of which side of the disk they
are on) vs 1810mm2 for the original calipers - which is about 40% more
piston per wheel. So for a given pressure of fluid pushed (N/mm2) from the

I fitted a similar thing from Rally Design meant for a MK1 escort iirc,

You could probably lower the front in the same way, but be careful as it is

Those seals are very hard to find, especially as there are 2 different sizes

Hi all,
I've recently had my 2+2 tank out to fit a new level sender for my VDO gauges.
In calibrating the level, I noticed with 35 litres in the tank the fluid sits
just level with the bottom of the filler hole, meaning there is a fair bit of
"air" still left in the tank (about 10cm). Is it norm
about the ZVH so any information would be much appreciated.

I'd be interested if the price is sensible. Swirl pot is a must, and as
for the fuel sender, if it could accept the VDO sender that would be great.

It's even easier than that as it is vacuum operated, so just two pipes
