What Brake Pads To Try ?

I picked up Ford KA mater cylinder to try out, but in the end opted for a complete separate pedal box assembly with new master cylinders from compbrake

 

It was one of these units.

Pedal ratio is 5:1,

cylinder size

0.625 Front

0.7 Rear

0.7 clutch

 

Had to adjust things to get it to fit of course

 

 

David, any reasoning for the 5.1 ratio pedal box (size restriction maybe)?

It seems that non servo assisted brakes are ideally suited to 6.1 or above.

Sorry Dino - I cant recall fully. I remember looking at ratios at the time and simply went off the advice that the Compbrake people offered.

Really pleased I read this thread, I ditched my servo after rebuilding my car and changed to a Fiesta mk1 non servo master cylinder. Got my MOT on Monday morning first thing and my brake pedal feels like it has a long throw, I thought I'd done something to cause this but feel a bit better now I just need to stamp a bit harder!
