Hi guys, just about to start an S50B32 build (will get a journal going very soon) and am about to buy a clio servo.

One question though, I've searched through loads of posts, but cant seem to find a definitive answer.

To those who have used the clio servo on their s50 engined cars and have moved the servo over 55-60mm, what master cylinder do you have?

Many Thanks in advance for the help. :D

I used the stock one.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

The stock one fits. I used the 25mm one from the E32.

Thanks guys appreciate the replies.

Good to know the standard one fits, but think I might go for the E32 one as I'm going to be using e36 m3 brakes.

Sorry I just recalled that if you use a stock master cylinder, you will need a spacer to fill in the rod as the rod on the clio servo is too short. Can't remember the length though. I think it's around 20mm or so.

You'll need a spacer for the E32 one too. Same length.
