It may be that the paint was ‘from supplier’ Girling, or similar, but they or Ford could have supplied another coating. They (manufacturers) component or vehicle, don’t expect the parts to still be in use after so many years ☹ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: PAUL SLATER Sent: 08 September 2

RE: [Quantum Owners] Brake Servo Problems

At least they did put some paint on them which beats some of their products today.But do agree would have been sensible for them to use a brake fluid resistant paint not the same stuff they have used for eternity. The compbrake setup is IVA compliant as long as the bias bar is dealt with as per cur

Re: [Quantum Owners] Brake Servo Problems

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. Jim From: 'Paul S Quantum' via Quantum Owners Group Sent: Thursday, S

RE: [Quantum Owners] Brake Servo Problems

We grew tired of the original servos failing. 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 diaphrag

Indeed – In my search for E10 hose I found that the pipes specified for boat use generally far exceeded that for cars (possibly the danger in a boat fire presents as more difficult to escape than with a car?) I got the hose from Car Builder solutions in the end, although I suspect they don’t ha

I apologise if you’re already familiar with …….. If (with engine off) you press the brake pedal and keeping it pressed then start the engine, does the pedal go down once the engine has started? If it does then there is some assistance provided by the servo. If it doesn’t the first thing to check

There are 2 very different master cylinder, servo and transfer bar setups on the Mk2 Fiesta 1986 was the changeover year so we need to work out which setup you have. Can you send a picture ? Unfortunately parts for both setups are vary hard to find. If you have the ability to fabricate parts the

Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal

Remember the early Mk2 Saloons were based on a Mk1 Fiesta donor so the early manual probably would only mention that. Mk2 Fiesta owners must have a similar problem with tank seals. Jim From: list...@liberator-systems.co.uk Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2022 11:53 AM To: Quantum Owners Group

I have 2 versions of saloon assembly manual. The version 1.0 copy briefly states Fiesta MK1 filler pipe must be used and cut and sleeved - no real detail just a photo..An obviously later pdf copy (but version not stated) of manual I have gives much more detail of cutting, sleeving and joining m

Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal

The earlier tank (side sender) used the metal filler pipe , the later tank (top sender) used the plastic filler pipe. I don’t think you can mix the 2 as the pipes are a different size. Having said that, my saloon has the later tank and the saloon has to use the metal filler pipe as it is cut and
