Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

John R <list...@liberator-systems.co.uk>: Oct 31 09:21AM -0700 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 ...more

"Jim Hearne" <j...@quantums.info>: Nov 02 10:45AM 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 ...more

"kynastonp ." <kyna...@gmail.com>: Nov 02 10:52AM 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 ...more

susanandmartin <susanan...@corringham99.free-online.co.uk>: Nov 02 11:14AM I used a later part…. Details below from my list   Bracket-anti roll bar 96FB 5488 AA 1003610 Fiesta 96 part         Martin Scott   Sent from Mail for Windows 10   From: John R ...more

"Jim Hearne" <j...@quantums.info>: Nov 02 11:22AM 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 ...more

Darren Siepka <dar...@siepka.me.uk>: Nov 02 01:46PM 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 ...more

susanandmartin <susanan...@corringham99.free-online.co.uk>: Nov 02 03:07PM 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 ...more

"Jim Hearne" <j...@quantums.info>: Nov 02 03:35PM The Mk3 /4 Fiestas with twist beam still had a rear ARB on the XR2i and RS1800i models. I guess it was easier to add the ARB (it’s only fixed to the twist beam) than to uprate the twist beam ...more

Darren Siepka <dar...@siepka.me.uk>: Nov 02 03:58PM 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 ...more

susanandmartin <susanan...@corringham99.free-online.co.uk>: Nov 02 04:15PM 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 ...more

susanandmartin <susanan...@corringham99.free-online.co.uk>: Nov 02 04:27PM 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 ...more

"list...@liberator-systems.co.uk" <list...@liberator-systems.co.uk>: Nov 02 10:25AM -0800 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 ...more

Darren Siepka <dar...@siepka.me.uk>: Nov 02 08:31PM So here is a picture showing a comparison of the xr2 Vs the 12mm E60 bar.   I found it by lots and lots of picture comparing on the net, then took a gamble on the 12mm which was just £12 delivered! ...more
