With MBM quoting 1000psi line pressure needed for a disc brake set up that’s a lot of force being held by those two studs :-o What do you think? Pete

This should please you relative to your comment above.
Whilst checking all the details prior to ordering the servos ("measure twice, order once"!) I have discovered the closed recess in the Dual servo is only 6mm deeper than the projection from my master cylinder.Thus with a 6mm adaptor the two faces are flush (or may be just touching)
My Ford master cylinder has a 22mm projection: the servo recess is 16mm.
I am therefore going to increase the standard adaptor plate to 8mm thick to eliminate any possible interference issues with the standard Ford master cylinder I have.
If anyone has a problem due their master cylinder having a longer projection, I can get a marginally thicker adaptor (within reason, say 10mm or even 12mm), but please do check for yourselves the projection depth of your master cylinder from it fixing face.
