Carbs dont fit
I made a template for fitting my R1 carbs to the zetec but they wouldn't fit the master cylinder is in the way 
So now i have 2 choices floor mounted pedals or the original injection (black plastic manifold type) anyone got any opinions on which way to go

I agree with mango ..
How could anybody argue with a guy who has such a cool avatar 
No seriously though although brakes are critical, a remote resevoir is perfectly acceptable and cheap :-)
MNR do a package for about £15 delivered...
"Link Pipes From Resevoir To Master Cylinders In Braided With Anodised Finisher Unions x 2 "

Hmm Dave - i used 2 girling 0.45 and 0.48 I think to power my all round disc set
With a double resevoir (gts £20 quid)
I got mine from Yukspeed for around £35-£40 delivered - he's a nice lad too!
I'm not sure about that OEM version - hope somebody can help you out
Cheers,
Murray

I couldn't understand your problem until I looked at you archive --- changing the pedals might be the best option.
Another alternative to bike carbs is a Rover inlet manifold which requires an adpator plate to fit a Zetec but you don't have room for that
either.

I spoke to Tiger today and an alternative is to fit a Mondeo master cylinder. It has the same stud pattern as the sierra but its not as long.
