Only two types of master cylinder ever fitted to the Omega.

All models upto '97 9193233 and from '97 to end of production the cylinder was 9193218.

I think I'm sure that there were indeed only two master cylinders now. 25/20 mm on earlier cars and 25/25mm on later cars.

( ATE, the original manufacturer still list six different ones, mind )

If the OP's car has the later 25/25 master cylinder, then the components will be compatible, as all he's doing is to update his car to the later spec.

If the OP has the earlier 25/20 master cylinder then I would advise against the swap, as these cars are a bit too rear-biased in standard form.

The rear calipers have the piston size cast into the housing, easily readable from the outside. On inspection, you'll find that ALL non-vented cars are 40mm, whilst the vented rear calipers are 42mm bore.

hope this clears it up a bit.
