on an xr2 you've gotta lose most of ya dials or move em as it sits right up in the dash, u can however sit the cylinders where the servo used to be.

ive seen the universal box that sits on the old servo bracket,,,

but that stil uses the rod across the bulkhead which gives loads of flex,

I used to run one of these in my fiesta RWD rally car,it will fit but you have to strengthen the bulk head as its onny single skin the top bolts are a bit more difficult to use I cut and shaped some 1inch box section to bridge the gap and welded a captrive nut inside so to bolt it all up secure,I do have photos of the entire build but thay would need scanning
