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 to fix it they'd charge a fortune but be able to fix it - but ask them for the part and it would not be available.

I have been trawling the interweb and have had a chat with autodoc. They have given me two links https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lnk-3907676for brake system BOCHS - BENDIXhttps://www.autodoc.co.uk/lnk-6808179 for brake system LUCAS Do these seem plausible? Is the brake system likely to be Bosch - Bendix or Lucas, and if so how can I tell which I have?

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 Group Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 5:28 PM Subject: 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 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 Sonia & Pete On Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 4:53:38 PM UTC, Susan and Martin Scott wrote: 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: chris.quant via Quantum Owners Group To: quantu...@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 3:48 PM Subject: 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 donut disc thing behind it) as the connections are different. Chris G From: Sonia Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 12:18 PM To: Quantum Owners Group 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 -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
