Default what kind of brake set up are people running ? few questions...

would a vts 2 port master cylinder fit a vtr brake servo ?

if so.. would the 2 port master cylinder work with std vtr brake size set up using a T piece for the fronts and a T peice for the rear with a bias valve ?

if it would.. would it matter if it was an abs type m/c or not ?

think the seal my have gone or *flipped* in my vtr m/c but going fast road/ track route so will be going to 266mm in the near future.

cheers for any help

Im fairly sure they are the same size mc

Ideally you want one with the same number of ports to make things easy for yourself.

Using a two port and converting it to a four port you would need to join I e live from each port to the t piece.
So you would have front left and rear right on one port
Front right and rear left on the other so as to keep the diagonal split system in place

ABS MS's on saxos are all 2 port.

You might want to consider a 23mm MS (either 4 port or 2 port as both are available) then if you're going up a size. Have a search for the pros/cons.

cheers for any help

Just make sure the mounts are the correct ones, some are off set so the reservoir sits over at an angle!!
