Thanks for the input so far. Misterauto do have the later one at
£454!!! The earlier one is around £40, similar to price of earlier one
on ebay. Don't understand why there is such a difference between early
and late versions
Anyway there is not room for the earlier one so does anyone know of
a) whether there are different refurb kits for the earlier and later
versions of the master cylinder, and if so how to tell which one I need
b) something else that could be used, possibly with some re-routing of
the brake pipe connections

I'm not sure about whether the servo would need changing or not
(I'll defer to Chris's knowledge on that), but the pipework will
need 'modifying in length' (maybe not a huge issue) and possibly
has different size (m10 or m12) threaded ends - again not too big
an issue. If fitting the larger master cylinder, however I believe
you would also need a different distributor (ie smaller) as there
isn't room.

I think you need the Girling version.
TRW do one here
https://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/catalogue/product/PMH329/
<https://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/catalogue/product/PMH329/>
I paid around £ 350 for mine 6 years ago, but I believe others
have since found them cheaper.
If you try to fit the long version then you will also need to
change the servo (black donut disc thing behind it) as the
connections are different.

*Subject:* [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder
Hi
Looking for advice on brake master cylinder on our 2+2 based
on 1989 Mk2 XR2. Fluid is leaking badly from master cylinder
so almost no brake pedal! Got it to local garage (who I have
used for nearly 20 years and trust) who are having trouble
locating a replacement part. Issue is Ford (bless 'em) changed
the master cylinder from 1986 when a 'rising servo' and
shorter master cylinder was fitted. Prior to that it was a
longer cast item. The earlier ones are readily available but
with the rising servo (it points more upwards) there isn't
room for the longer master cylinder. The only later cylinders
we have found are on ebay and £350!!
Refurbishment kits are available for about £15 which may fix
our existing cylinder but it is not clear whether there are
separate kits for the early and later cylinders
So, does anyone
a) know of a source of the later master brake cylinders at a
more sensible price
b) know if there is more than 1 refurbishment kit and how to
tell which is which
c) know of another master cylinder which would fit with
minimal additional effort
Many thanks
Sonia & Pete
