It has been a while since I Have done this, the two ports at the front one goes to the o/s and the other to n/s the one at the back to the rear spiliting with the T-piece going to the r/n/s & r/o/s.

I hope this is of some help and some else can correct me if I am wrong!!!!

Not got an ABS one have you?

The all sierras use the same single circuit to the rear and split left & right front. There is no sierra with a 4 way split.

That master cylinder setup will be no good to you. You want one from a non ABS sierra. Have a look on ebay you can sometimes pick them up second hand quite cheaply.

Cheers

can you remember where you got it from Andy? I need the same set-up as noted above (3 port) and I'm looking at £80+ for an m/c (all round discs) so will be getting that unless you can direct me to the 30 quid supplier

Cheers
