Hi. Don't know if anyone ever repaired them but were the same on XD and XE falcons and then changed to a plastic unit on XF through to AU falcons. Don't know if the plastic ones are a direct fit but they may adapt to the early heater case. Cheers MD

Re: Cortina Ghia 1981 Actuator Vacuum Control Module the plastic ones on the XF to AU Falcons are not interchanageable with the setup of XD to XE Falcons. This may assist if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. Now to find a source that can replace the diaphragm. And thank you Michael for your input

If the later pods dont work (or cant be modified to fit) the other option may be to look at the pods from the XA/XB/XC range (aussie "GT falcon parts supply type companys) and maybe from early 70's mustangs (US Mustang and other ford parts supply companys). Cheers MD

hi
Sounds like this was a kit produced by an aftermarket supplier exclusive to Ford . To this current day many aftermarket companies supply to OEM . Although the peak was the 70`s--90`s .
Try other brands that used vacuum actuators . Holden used USA GM , worth a try .
GM used metal can type .
