On my 3 door is leaking again , does anyone know where you can get these new as fords no longer sell them . Just above the rear arm passenger side !

 

Anyone?

 

Not sure mate. Mine was leaking years ago. If i remember rite, I just removed it and stripped it apart and replaced an O Ring. Maybe not though lol sorry

 

It doesn't need to be cossie specific, so any sierra with rear disc will do, or from granada, scorpio etc, so long as rear disc is ok.

Cheers mate . need one asap as is pissing out all over the place. anyone in essex breaking any of the above cars ???

 

i couldnt find one for love or money, so i just removed it

 

One on ebay the other day

Steve

 

I remember someone on here once wrote that Fiesta ones (I don't know which model) are the same as Sierra ones.

 

I didnt think you could do that ?

 

You can do it, just not safe to do so.
The valve does not even have to be ford either so long as fits, from a rear disc RWD car.

Ive had no luck finding one so far

 

Does anyone have ford microcat ? part number 6132856

Paul S is selling some 3dr/500 bits - thats the link to his site i think.

Just over half way down - 'brake line front to rear inc good leak free bias valve 65'

Mart.

 

Ive been contacted by him mate and only need the valve not the line and he wants to sell complete

 

Righto - was worth a shot


Mart.

 

Well just buy the valve and tell him to bin the line........simplessssss

Steve

 

I may well be doing that

 

I've still got the old valve off my Sapphire Cosworth which I painted black. pm if interested with an offer!

 

Ok so tonight i have paid for the one of Paul s (thanks mate)


Next question is . HOW do you fit the thing

 

ive got my old leaking one in my shed i think, if i recall correctly it splits in 2.

if nobody can confirm i'll go dig it out and have a look

 

I have one if you want it - it is slightly modified, it is from a 4x4, the internals are the same but the fitting heading to the 3 way connector is different, I have had a goodridge adaptor fitted and the a new short pipe valve to 3 way, the female threaded hole facing towards the front of car is the same, works the same as original no leaks etc, if you are interested let me know as I have just started to brake my car

Regards Ry

 

Its very staightforward to fit - spanner on the body of the valve to hold it in place, and a 11mm spanner on the front brake pipe end and just undo the brake pipe union, then the same at the other end of the body with a slightly larger spanner ( think it was 13mm), remove the body and replace and tighten the unions back up either and and job done, just need to bleed the system then.

 

Thanks for the advice paul .

 

on its way

 

Thankyou
