The would be more servos around if Ford had thought to paint them with paint that was brake fluid proof.
The comp brake bias setup won’t pass a IVA test so don’t use it on a car that needs a IVA And you do loose the servo.

From the 5 failed servos here its always the big diaphragm that fails, well it is with the ones we have here. We did manage to patch a couple of them but the repair held but they failed quickly at a different point & of all the seals the big diaphragm is NLA. Finding a good early Ka or Mondeo servo can be tricky with the good ones fetching silly money. We went down the compbrake bias brake setup which is a bolt on conversion that replaces the original servo and master cylinder. Not cheap mind but a permanent solution plus has the added advantage of cheap easy to get master cylinders and the ability to adjust the brake bias to exactly as you want it.

Can you send a picture ? Unfortunately parts for both setups are vary hard to find. If you have the ability to fabricate parts then there are various upgrades that can be done to either KA or Mondeo master cylinders and servos. I don’t know if there are any off the shelf conversion kits though. Jim From: John Hogg Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2022 12:01 PM To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Brake Servo Problems Dear All I hope someone can help. My recently purchased 2+2 has terrible brakes. I have replaced or refurbished the brake calipers and the pads are good. I purchased a replacement Servo but found it was very different to the original one fitted. I have tried to fit the new servo but find it is different in every sense. Can anyone direct me to, or supply me with, a working servo for a 1986 1600 CVH engined Fiesta or the part number for. Failing a replacement - does anyone know what else it can be - the pressure required to get the brakes to work is as if there is no assistance from the servo. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
