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

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

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

That may have been what i was thinking of as well.

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

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

The Mk3 /4 Fiestas with twist beam still had a rear ARB on the XR2i and RS1800i models.

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

That servo installation looks good – did it need a new mounting bracket and a change to the transfer tube?

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

So here is a picture showing a comparison of the xr2 Vs the 12mm E60 bar.
