Escort mk2 rs2000 brake servo .

[cossie dave]

Does anybody know where to get a ATE brake servo for a escort mk2 rs2000  from . I only have a girling servo at moment and as i understand the rs should be ATE . Is that correct ?  Thanks Dave .

Early UK RS2000 had a Girling servo.

Later changed to ATE around July 78 if I remember correctly.

About that time a low brake fluid warning was also fitted as standard.

What is the upgrade process when these parts are not available 

thanks

Stick with the Girling unless complete originality is your thing.

ATE wasnt nearly as good.

From memory (in the deep banks of my noggin), I think you will have to match your master cylinder with the servo. ie. if you have an girling servo, only a girling master will fit it! I seem to recall coming across this issue many, many moons ago.

Hi all,

 

It is a bit of a Minefield this one, I have some new Girling Servos for Escort MK2,s, two different sizes, one fits the RS/Mexico cars, the others fit the 1600 Sports/Ghia,s, both are different in diameter, but both are Girling, I also have a couple of new ATE master cylinders, and the ATE master cylinders will fit on the Girling servos as the PCD of the studs on the servo,s is the same as the PCD of the mounting holes on the pair of ATE master cylinders I have, so it is a hit & miss situation.

I can only guess that it is possible that certain ATE cylinders may well have a different PCD and some will fit and others may not. !!??.

The only likely difference between the Girling and ATE servo's is the amount of 'assistance' provided ie. the ratio. I've seen ratio's listed from 1.6:1 up to 2:1 for various servo's and I'd suspect that a particular servo ratio will be matched to a corresponding master cylinder to achieve an acceptable pedal travel / pressure / stopping power. So an ATE master may fit a Girling cylinder and it will undoubtedly work, but it may not 'feel' right, either being too heavy or too light a pedal. Only way to know is try it out!
