    Integral Master Cylinder

    Anybody any comments on these ?

    Are they suitable for a bias pedal box ?

    Seem a bit expensive compared to ones that can be had for about £20 if you search around?
    But the main issue is accessibility for filling / checking + they are usually mounted at an angle - easier to use non-integrated IMO as most people do? In my escort, under dash space is minimal so remote reservoirs were easier.

    Thanks for your input

    They are more expensive than a standard MC but when you consider you would also need to buy a reservoir and associated pipes / hoses they the price seems to make sense.

    My intention is to try and keep the engine bay as neat as possible and wondered if anybody had any experience with them. As you say, space is tight so interested to know if they are practical.

    I wouldn't think they're very practical at all. IMO.. Unless using a floor mounted bias pedal box maybe, even if you could get them in there you've still got to be able to fill them up..

    A said above really. If you are going for looks you can get custom made alloy tanks which contain all 3 sets of fluid etc and can be polished.

    I use that type on my Scimitar as the bias box is horizontally mounted in the engine bay
    I don't think they would work on an Escort as the reservoirs would be very hard to fill !

    Thanks guys. I've decided on making a custom alloy 3 in 1 for the engine bay.
