RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

Yes…… I now remember seeing the ARB ‘added’ to the twist beam and thinking it was a bit strange. Nice work with the servo – mine was a much easier swap for the Escort one on the Rickman. Martin Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Jim Hearne Sent: 02 November 2020 15:35 To:

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

Darren you seem to have a talent for finding and adapting parts ;-)... Can I ask how did you arrive at the BMW bar solution - trawling through scrapyards or did you find some reference material regarding bar dimensions on different cars? I started searching by just by looking at photos of

[Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

Hi All Are the saloon rear ARB brackets, P clamps etc. custom QSC or standard Fiesta MK2? I do have a build manual but it does not seem to specify. Currently running what looks like a standard XR2 ARB 14mm diameter but as I will be rebuilding rear suspension soon thinking of upgrading it.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

On the saloon only the ARB itself and the rubber bushes are Mk2 Fiesta. There are no mounting brackets like on the Fiesta, the clamps bolt directly to the floor. And the Clamps are top hat shaped clamps with 2 bolts rather than P shaped with 1 bolt on the Fiesta >From memory they came from Mk3

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

Early cars used a modified fiesta clamp with an extra bolt hole bracket welded on to make the clamp symmetrical . I thought the u clamp on later cars was MK3 escort but experience says Jim is probably correct. Get Outlook for Android From:

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

That may have been what i was thinking of as well. Obviously wouldn’t have been the original part Quantum used as the Mk4 Fiesta wasn’t around then. JIm From: susanandmartin Sent: Monday, November 2, 2020 11:14 AM To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

I am just replacing/ updating the rear bar on my 2+2 which is the same as the saloon. I am using a BMW rear bar from E60/61. There are several sizes ranging from a 12mm to a 18mm depending on engine size. It is narrower so you need new brackets on the axle But they are cheap, very cheap. According

Without wanting to stray the thread too much , I will be posting my report on my latest servo master cyl conversion soon after I complete testing.i have used a mgf setup(y2000). I have also installed all the abs gubbins too ! If it doesn't behave then it will just get unplugged and the hardware

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

It may be that later ones have the same part (but with a different part number), but IIRC they changed to a twist beam with no separate ARB. Anything over a few years old will possibly be difficult to obtain. BTW how did the Land Rover servo fit on the Q03? Martin Sent from Mail for Windows 10

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

Surprised they are narrower (BMW probably being a wider car), the 18mm one will possibly cause all sorts of stability problems. I recall fitting lower rated front springs to my Calvy Mitchel, which resulted in more body roll (than the MGB GT ones previously fitted) and the result was a much

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

That servo installation looks good – did it need a new mounting bracket and a change to the transfer tube? Martin Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Jim Hearne Sent: 02 November 2020 15:35 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: Fw: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware
