Only yesterday I was in a motor factors on the same mission. He claimed the 'pressed one' was available at a sit -down- first price of £188 + VAT ouch. An alternative of the same diameter may be the Ka master cylinder, which he was prepared to get in on a buy-or-return so that a visual/measure could be done - price £68 +VAT. Anyone know if the KA one will fit? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamest142" <[email protected]> To: "Quantum Owners Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 8:37 PM Subject: [Quantum Owners] Quantum 2+2 Brake Master Cylinder
Hiya folks I have the 2+2 (Red Round Headlight) with XR2 1989 engine. The Master Brake Cylinder has started to weep 'somewhere', so I need to fit a new one. I have purchased a new unit off eBay, and it is the Cast Iron version - the listing gave a fairly comprehensive list of the Fiesta it will fit, and 1989 XR2 was listed (Twice!), so bought it quick before anyone else grabbed it. I have now looked at the car, and the Haynes/Autodata book, and it looks slightly different... The unit on the car looks like the piccie 9.6 (XR2 early 1986 on) Pressed Steel(?), whereas the purchased unit looks something like 9.9 (Levering off the housing) Does anyone know if the items are interchangeable? Quantum sell a part as below - do I need to buy one of these as well? * - R217 Brake Master Cylinder Adaptor plate/ (Cast Iron to Steel type) Master Cyl Best regards James T -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
