As above,
I've figured out i need a 4 Port 23mm Job

I'm replacing my axle next weekend so wanna do this at the same time and bleed the brakes all up properly etc

Is this the thing i'm looking for?: http://www.autopartoo.com/oem/triscan/fbm4408d5c.html#

I'm having terrible trouble finding one!

Possibly, it's the right size but they do come with offset mounting bolts on some cars.

Just make sure the one you buy ate level

Been offered a 2 port one with a splitter to make it 4 port, would this be any good or not ideal?

Not the best way of doing it

You would also need to make some new brakelines up

Yes, COPPER brake lines will be a good option.

But he doesn't need any new lines

Far better off just sourcing the proper mc and swapping over.


Converting to a two port one takes out one of the safety factors built in to the car and that's the diagonal split braking system.

It can be replicated with the two port but its not so good

Plenty of four port mc out there
