Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

Wow - lots of parts changes there. A route which may be less finacially cripling could be to get a machine shop to make a new master cylinder for you to match a set of seals (if you can get them.) Even with the labour costs involved it may be viable, it's just finding tthe right place? Another s

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

Sorry, googlegroups refuses to accept any replies (or moderations) from my email at the moment so my reply is a bit late. The early large master cylinder as you have found only fits with the early short distributor which needs it's matching ECU to work. This distributor is shorter as all the me

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

Once yours is removed you may be able to narrow it down by measuring - or if you have both kits in front of you it may be obvious by appearance? I've a suspicion that there are loads of these and other 'obsolete' parts at the Ford dealers. I would wager if you took the car to them and asked them

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

when you say there isn't room, is that because of the clash with the distributor? If so, (and if it fits of course?) it may be financially better and an easier task to get the earlier m/c and the alternative distributor. Martin - Original Message - From: Sonia To: Quantum Owners G

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

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

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

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 mast

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 (XR2) Master Brake Cylinder

I think you need the Girling version. TRW do one here 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

I got one from Misterauto a couple of years ago - less than £80. It took 3 attempts(2 refunds) and various 'phone calls, but got there eventually. Might be worth a try. - Original Message - From: Sonia To: Quantum Owners Group Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 12:18 PM Subj

[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
