Re: [Quantum Owners] Engine mount Timing side
I believe the mount needs to be modded to match up with the stress points of the shell. So the only way to “fix” it is to change the shape of the body shell. Have fun with that... From: Mick L Sent: Monday, April 24, 2023 8:31 AM To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Engine mount Timing side Not what I wanted to hear. More time taking work for a car needed for work next week. Someone needs to change this design as the mounts are hard to come by and the idea of them needing such modification when so rare seems silly. I amazed it was so poorly designed that the rubber inserts where not removable once the mount was modded for longevity. From: 'Paul S Quantum' via Quantum Owners Group Sent: 23 April 2023 20:22 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [Quantum Owners] Engine mount Timing side No the rubber parts do not remove normally. The top upper engine mount require a couple of modifications. It requires one of the tabs cutting off and a small extension welding onto the bottom of the mount so the lower mounting hole is moved onto the welded extension piece. The mounts were normally exchanged by QSC when the kit was bought but the change is not that big even if you need to pay someone to modify the mount for you. Best using your original as a template.

I've got two new gearbox ends sorted but the main mount is modded compared to the xr2 according to Sb. Do the rubber Interbals come out of standard mounts to fit into the modded units?

Yes, that’s normal. Some people weld the nut onto a steel plate then bond that plate onto the shell.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Fiesta mk2 Brake master cylinder reservoir
That’s the early type used on MK1 Fiesta (I think) and MK2 Fiesta up to 1.3 engine. 1.4 and 1.6 XR2 had the Girling short master cylinder with a different reservoir, servo and brackets.
