Remember the clutch cover and the clutch release bearing need to me matched, either low lift or normal, you can’t use a low lift cover plate with a normal release bearing or visa versa.
Used as a pair they should be interchangeable.

Modifying the plastic clutch quadrant at the pedal helped but later I found a standard Ford clutch quadrant that did the job. Here's the details: 55mm Granada Mk2 / Escort Mk3 (81-86) Ford P/N: 78GB7L583AC With this a standard friction plate will work and you won't need the low lift one.

However, when I first got the car, I spent a lot to time trying to get the clutch bit point off the floor. I have the prototype 2+2 and it turns out it is different from production cars and was originally fitted with a customer made clutch cable. Now that I have a working set up, I am struggling to find a supplier who can assure me they have a direct replacement ‘LOW LIFT’ part rather than a compatible substitute. I tried the local Ford stealer yesterday. They had a few suggestions, but they were special order so I wouldn’t be able to return then if they were wrong.

I think it was on the Total Kitcar website (it may have been in Complete Kitcar magazine?) that Burton Power also stock the ‘everyday’ bits for Fords, as well as the unusual/exotic. I’ve Found Burton to be first class – last week they delivered a head gasket set to me, which was very well package with 2 planks of wood to prevent damage during the journey – these were ideal for placing the cylinder head once I’d removed it 😊 Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: 'Chris Fairlie' via Quantum Owners Group Sent: 21 January 2023 13:54 To: quantu...@googlegroups.com Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 clutch issue I've just had my 2+2 flywheel skimmed and the crank, flywheel and clutch cover plate balanced. Since then the clutch judders when pulling away. I kept the original part used clutch cover and friction plate because I couldn’t find a replacement. Any ideas if this will settle down with more use or I do I need to replace the clutch. If I need to replace the clutch do any of you know where I can get a replacement for the following? The friction plate is marked Motorcraft 90 AB 7550 CA LOW LIFT LUK Thanks in advance Chris Fairlie Q2-001 -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
