Don’t fit one if you are going to need an IVA as it will fail. Any brake balance bars need to have the adjustment nuts welded up before they will pass an IVA
I’m not sure from the picture if it fits in the engine bay directly behind the brake pedal or if it replaces the servo.

Paul said his was the later Mk2 Fiesta donor so that is the short stubby pressed steel master cylinder. There is no alternative for this without changing the servo and brackets as well. The Mk3 (and probably the Mk4) Fiesta master cylinders can be used to replace the early Mk2 Fiesta cast iron cylinders, I've done that myself. But the holes are at a different angle completely on the later Mk2 Fiesta. They are also often thrown away i think as the brake fluid attacks the paint on them (good thinking that Ford) and they get very rusty on the outside.

Hi all, my 2+2 has just failed it's MOT due to a spongy brake pedal, after some investigation it appears the master cylinder seals are shot & as such is filling the servo up with brake fluid. I have searched virtually everywhere for a service kit but have been told that these are now extinct for the later (1988 > 1989) XR2 so my car is now sitting at my mechanics in bits whilst alot of head scrathing is taking place. Someone told me that a non ABS Mondeo set up could be used although considerable work is required to fit this & the bar running along the bulk head needs to be made adjustable to enable the brake pedal to be adjusted but this seems to be more work than I'm willing to investigate further, has anyone else had this problem with a late XR2 based Quantum & if so how did you overcome this or does anyone know where a service kit could be obtained from or does another service kit from a different manufacturer fit? Seems totally crazy that such a simple part from an 80's Ford cannot be obtained & makes me wonder how both MK2 XR2 owners & kit car owners are keeping their cars on the road if such simple service parts are no longer available? Any help with this will be very, very much appreciated. Cheers, Paul. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
