RE: [Quantum Owners] Re: ULEZ compliant?
My understanding is that as long as the vehicle hasn’t been altered in the last 30 years, that it qualifies for MOT exemption. There is also (IIRC) a special case for classics having a new monocoque or chassis as a manufacturer’s part replacement for the original. Lots of different sections in the ‘rules’ which, as always, seem to be applied in different ways by DVLA. Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Ken Needham Sent: 17 July 2023 16:09 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: ULEZ compliant? I am currently going through a DVLA issue that sort of relates to the point you are raising. I recently took my 1969 Lotus for an MOT but the garage that has been MoTing the car for over 30 years now tells me that it failed on emissions. Due to a "Chassis" change in '78 the DVLA insisted it be re registered so it now has a T plate. The V5 does state "first registered as 1978 but also contains a note saying it was "first used in 1969" The document that the MoT Tester is presented with simply states "First Registered date" as 1978 so he tested it as a "78 car. I see that the MoT Manual tabulates the emissions requirements as to when the vehicle was "first used" but pointing this out to the tester did not change his mind. I have complained to the DVLA and await full outcome. The vehicle VIN plate seems to be the item to settle any argument but the administration path is arduous and requires a certificate from the manufacturer showing when the vehicle was made based on the VIN. Another gotchya is the need for an Mot for vehicles over 40 years old. Kit cars threw a spanner in this aspect resulting in the DVLA coming out with a points scheme. To be listed as an Historic vehicle the vehicle must be made up of mainly original components. Any variation alters the points status and may subsequently require the vehicle to be MoTed. This is a very messy area and can result in very complex arguments Quantum 2+2 saloon Q plate!

RE: [Quantum Owners] Wheel and Tyre fitment 15 " 7 wheels and 14s... and Hello :)
I don’t know the answer to this (maybe I should as I have a saloon). Mine is running 185/55 x 14, I can’t recall the offset. On the Rear you need to be aware of how close the tyres are to the trailing arms, as well as inner arches. At the front the steering rack is either a standard or XR2. Some folk state (incorrectly) that the XR2 rack is a ‘quick’ rack ie higher ratio than standard, this is not the case as both racks have the same ratio! The confusion is that the XR2 rack is less turns lock to lock (numbers in Haynes manual?) , and is because the rack in the XR2 is restricted using plastic inserts. I have verified the same ratio with both racks ‘on the bench’. Long and short (no pun intended) of it is that if you have an XR2 rack there is less likelihood of the tyres rubbing bodywork when turned.

She is currently fitted with 14s 6 wide Et20. 185 60 front and 195 rear I believe. They look lovely but do catch the rear arch around 4/5 and 7/8 o clock positions. My question is...Is this simply down the the rears been 195 or is it because the offset of these wheels is incorrect as they do come out the arch. I have the opportunity to buy a set of wheels that are 15" 7 wide and et35 so ford offset I believe. Is there a universe where these wheels would fit without rubbing with 195 45 15s? If so I would sell ours and get them instead. Thanks Mick and Giuliana -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

RE: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 clutch issue
Hi Chris, I was going to suggest the clutch release can be improved, as Dave has said it won’t help the judder. There is a manual pedal which replaced the automatic adjustment (same as Fiesta) previously used on the Escort – I don’t know if Ford also carried it onto the Fiesta, but there was clearly a problem with the Escort. Anyway, the pedal is a direct replacement for the one on the Fiesta, and can be used with the 55mm quadrant you may already have, although the quadrant has to be modified. It has a manual adjustment, so not relying on the unreliable? Ratchet. I have the parts and will have a go at fitting them on my saloon, as the clutch cable movement sometimes works ok but clearly isn’t always holding the correct length.

Jim From: Dave English Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2023 9:41 AM To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 clutch issue Doesn't help with the juddering problem, which, as was mentioned earlier, is just new cover/old plate and may improve with use, but my early 2+2 (Q2009) had the same problem with not enough movement on the clutch. 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.

But the later seal is definitely not correct fit in my tank aperture. I believe
the original donor for my car was pre 86 XR2 - that fits with my metal filler

It is is possible I guess that tank is an aftermarket item and was supplied

The other tank I have in saloon is a later top mounted sender type - the

However the aperture diameter on these tanks where filler seal fits is
completely different - the later tank is much bigger.
So far I have found and tried 2 different Fiesta seals listed by suppliers.
The first one supplied would be the correct one for the early type tank.
The second one supplied is bigger OD but is not correct for my later tank
(it takes a pipe approx 55mm diameter but fits in a smaller diameter tank
aperture than aperture in my tank) . I think this type is for tanks using
later plastic filler pipe
So there are at least 2 types of standard Fiesta tank seal and so far I have
not managed to find a seal which fits my later tank aperture - this implies
my later tank is either non standard or there was at least one other type of

the metal type 50mm diameter. The aperture in the tank where seal fits is
approx 61mm inside diameter.
I have found seals to fit 50mm pipe but they are much smaller tank fitting
diameter - these match the seal on an old earlier type tank (side sender) II
have in garage.
So does anyone happen to know if the seal I need is a Fiesta part or was it
sourced from another car?

RE: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal
Going off at a tangent……. Is there a possibility that similar era tanks from different car manufacturers may be worthy of investigation? Maybe Land Rover, MG or Triumph or other classics with good spares backup? The question of suitability for petrol including ethanol need answering though. Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: list...@liberator-systems.co.uk Sent: 15 September 2022 14:02 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal Several folks have stated MK1 & MK2 filler neck seals are the same but from what I have found this is not always the case. One complete tank & filler pipe I have is an earlier side mounted sender type - the seal on that one takes Ford mm metal filler pipe. The other tank I have in saloon is a later top mounted sender type - the seal on that one also takes a 50mm filler pipe. However the aperture diameter on these tanks where filler seal fits is completely different - the later tank is much bigger. So far I have found and tried 2 different Fiesta seals listed by suppliers. The first one supplied would be the correct one for the early type tank. The second one supplied is bigger OD but is not correct for my later tank (it takes a pipe approx 55mm diameter but fits in a smaller diameter tank aperture than aperture in my tank) . I think this type is for tanks using later plastic filler pipe So there are at least 2 types of standard Fiesta tank seal and so far I have not managed to find a seal which fits my later tank aperture - this implies my later tank is either non standard or there was at least one other type of seal used at some point in production. My old seal is rock hard but otherwise decent condition so I hope to get a reproduction made using it as template. If that fails it looks like I would need to change tank and modify filler to a setup for which seals are available ;-( John .

Current IVA guidance is any bias brake setup has to be welded once set and pinning or lock wire as used to be allowed is no longer.

Indeed – In my search for E10 hose I found that the pipes specified for boat use generally far exceeded that for cars (possibly the danger in a boat fire presents as more difficult to escape than with a car?)

RE: [Quantum Owners] Brake Servo Problems
I apologise if you’re already familiar with …….. If (with engine off) you press the brake pedal and keeping it pressed then start the engine, does the pedal go down once the engine has started? If it does then there is some assistance provided by the servo. If it doesn’t the first thing to check is for any air leaks in the vacuum pipe to the servo – If there is a leak this will probably affect the running of the engine anyway.

RE: [Quantum Owners] E10 petrol.
I bought some ethanol proof hose last week from Car Builder Solutions, having tried local outlets………. Beware, that (certainly in my experience) some vendors seem to either have no knowledge or not care about what they are selling or the consequences of ethanol in petrol. Geoff has his experience, and I have similar (hose failure on Rickman the day after MOT test!). ‘Guidance’ from local motor factor was “yes, that’s the hose you want, it’s ok with petrol or diesel” when I specifically asked for hose that was ok with petrol containing ethanol. The local ‘motorsport’ (ie go faster Vauxhall saloon – carlos fandango wheels) garage, said “this hose is ok – we don’t know anyone who’s had problems with it, just use super unleaded” when trying to sell me a hose which just said Gates 8mm on it. *** It needs to be to spec SAEJ30 R9 or DIN73379 (which should be marked repeatedly on the hose) Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Hans Defauwes Sent: 01 September 2021 19:46 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] E10 petrol.

The Cold Cranking Amps is often given as a figure on the battery.

That seems logical given the cable lengths. Thanks. Fortunately my cable runs will be shorter. I've done a fair bit of digging and like many other such questions the disagreement on the forums is fascinating with debate getting heated! The nearest I can get to any degree of certainty is that the expected current is likely to be under 200A initial peak, dropping rapidly to somewhat less - something in the range 100-150A. These numbers are taken from several threads about similar (and bigger, inc diesel) engines so the chances are they are on the high side but are in a decent ball park. Anyway, it is unlikely to be more and over-estimating current is preferred! Clearly the voltage drop is what is most important, it must be small compared to battery V. I came across this site (which avoids doing calculations the hard way and maybe getting them wrong) https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/cable-sizing-selection.html which has a calculator. If I calculate based on 1m each way this gives me a V drop of less than 0.25V at 150 A on 25mm2 cable (ie <2% of the voltage). So that looks like a good option. Unless anyone thinks that absurd, I'll give it a go and confirm by measurement.

RE: [Quantum Owners] XR2 Master Cylinder Repair Kit
The registration date for the Rickman is from the donor Ford Escort – it may have the same number as the donor, I don’t know as I didn’t build it. It is correctly registered as Rickman. More recently DVLA would either have the registration date as either the donor or the date it was converted with a kit – there seemed to be no ‘set rule’. By the time of my Quantum SVA it had changed to ‘registration date is when it’s SVA’d’, but it retains the emission regs for the original (1987) fiesta (thankfully). Quantums to avoid buying, of course, are ones still registered as Fiesta. My Calvy Mitchel has date of registration 1970 and date of manufacture 1971 – very strange!

RE: [Quantum Owners] 2L Zetec Blacktop Pistons
Not that it helps with your quest, but (hopefully) of interest. When I was working at Ford we had an engine being tested for cold start durability at a University. As proof (if it was ever needed) that starting an engine repeatedly from cold with a fuel-enriched intake mixture would wreck an engine, there was a need for new pistons after several months and x000’s of start procedures. When trying to source new pistons, however, it was found they were not listed as a spare and could only be bought with an engine block. As this wouldn’t help our engine block durability testing, great discussions ensued taking several hours and it was agreed some pistons could be supplied direct from the assembly line (maybe one car was released without pistons? ). This is a good example of how Ford goes to great lengths with their testing (and probably other manufacturers do as well). Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Nigel Plant Sent: 25 March 2021 12:15 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2L Zetec Blacktop Pistons Probably one that's right up Jim's street. Does anyone have the Ford specification for 2L Zetec blacktop pistons. Need gudgeon pin diameter, compression height essentially all the key dimensions. I have broken a piston on my Xtreme turbo such that it needs reboring and cannot get any standard but oversize pistons. Am also told that Nural and Mahle have no production plans to manufacture any. I can get forged pistons and rods, which would be better performance wise but didn't want to drop compression to 8:1 or fork out £1200. 9:1 is my ideal for the power I want. I have found a custom piston manufacture for forged pistons alone, but they require a piston (no problem) and the key specs. For information, I have learnt one interesting point that people may find useful. Although the silvertop and black top have different length conrods (ctr to ctr) and different compression heights. The combined total of conrod length and compression height for the silvertop and blacktop are the same, meaning a set of silvertop conrods and pistons can be used to replace the blacktop ones.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Brake pipe flare
Hi Derek. Jim is absolutely spot on (as always ) with his advice. I tried one of the first (multi sizes) link ones a few years back – utter rubbish, I’d have done better using a centre punch ☹ The second, hand -held one is a direct copy of my (very old) Sykes-Pickavent hand-held one and they work very well. As Jim says, the flare has to be done in one action. To do a double flare the flare tool is removed after the first flaring, and turned around to do the second part to complete the double flare. I’ve used mine for pipes of at least 3 kit cars including the Quantum, including being doubled-up using it by hand under the Calvy Mitchel many years ago. A first-class piece of kit. The expensive SP one may be easier to use/slightly better? But can’t be used when the operator is on their back under the car! Oh- ALWAYS remember to put the threaded fitting on the pipe before doing the flare ……….

I think there is a bit missing. I think there probably should be a bracket in
there which holds the release handle pivots and provides a point for the cable
sleeve to be held correctly.
I can fabricate stuff. The problem of course is having no drawings to work with
so that the release handle lands up correctly placed for the column shroud. It
doesn't promise to be easy.
To answer Jim's comment, I do think this is a Mk3 set up - the dash is Mk3
shape (but with the mod to the dials), switchgear seems to match and the column
shrouds make sense in the they fit neatly where you'd expect them to.
Thanks all.

My H4 has an awful bodge on the steering column bonnet release - actually it
isn't even bodged, the cable sheath is not constrained at all and there is no
lever. I have obtained the orange lever and spring which appears to be correct
and I have sourced a cable which will work. However having removed the cowl at
last I find there is nothing on the column into which this lever fits so on its
own it is useless.
Does anyone have, or know how to obtain, this unit?

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware
Just by measuring the gap between each wheel and its adjacent trailing arm, and calculating the adjustment to get the axle central – welding some thick washers to the mounting bracket that fits on the boot floor, and re-doing the bracket hole. This was in preference to re-doing the boot floor GRP and redrilling the holes in the boot floor. The only difference introduced by the springs is if the panhard rod moves by rotation from the horizontal position, which of course it will do when the suspension wheels go up/down anyway. Arguably (if the measurements are taken when the panhard rod is horizontal) it could be prudent to adjust the panhard rod a ‘little long’ because any suspension movement up/down will tend to effectively ‘shorten’ it , thus moving the axle towards the right. An other (more accurate/heavier) way would be fit a watts linkage, which will keep the axle central. At the end of the day from (my albeit simple) calculation it appears (ignoring rubber/poly ‘squash’) there is only about 3mm ‘movement’ due to panhard rod during suspension travel (someone will maybe prove me wrong?)

I guess you adjusted your axle position by moving/modifying panhard rod mounts mounts? For me an adjustable rod (diy or buy) seems a better way to go particularly as I am likely to be experimenting with different rear springs which will necessitate tweaking the rod length.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware
Yes…… I now remember seeing the ARB ‘added’ to the twist beam and thinking it was a bit strange. Nice work with the servo – mine was a much easier swap for the Escort one on the Rickman. Martin Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Jim Hearne Sent: 02 November 2020 15:35 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: Fw: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware The Mk3 /4 Fiestas with twist beam still had a rear ARB on the XR2i and RS1800i models. I guess it was easier to add the ARB (it’s only fixed to the twist beam) than to uprate the twist beam itself. I thought i posted an update on the Land Rover servo. It’s fitted and should work. The 2 main issues were that it has the master cylinder studs at a different angle relative to the mounting studs compared to the Ford servo. This meant that the master cylinder was at an angle. I modified the servo mounting bracket to rotate the servo so the master cylinder studs were at the correct angle. Also, as you already know, the input pushrod to the servo has an eye fixing on it instead of a fork. I made a 2 part fork assembly that bolted over the existing eye on the servo and converted it to a fork. I also had to move the servo mounting brackets across the bulkhead by about 20mm to get the servo to clear the side of the engine bay. And cut and shorten the transfer bar for the same reason, it was already cut and welded with some dubious welds so i didn’t mind redoing it.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware
Surprised they are narrower (BMW probably being a wider car), the 18mm one will possibly cause all sorts of stability problems. I recall fitting lower rated front springs to my Calvy Mitchel, which resulted in more body roll (than the MGB GT ones previously fitted) and the result was a much nicer handling (less understeer). The guy who fitted huge anti-roll bars to his probably ended up unable to get around bends! Someone once stated “we moved away from solid axles to independent suspension, and then put anti-roll bars on, thus reverting back to solid axles!” That’s an extreme statement, but indicates that there’s a happy medium to aim for.

I am using a BMW rear bar from E60/61. There are several sizes ranging from a 12mm to a 18mm depending on engine size. It is narrower so you need new brackets on the axle But they are cheap, very cheap. According to the roll bar calculator a 12 mm works out the same torsional rating as our 14mm, the 18mm I got from an M5 calculates as being just over twice nearly three times! I also have a 12mm so will see how the two differ. On Mon, 2 Nov 2020, 10:45 Jim Hearne, wrote: On the saloon only the ARB itself and the rubber bushes are Mk2 Fiesta.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Re: Saloon tow bar
I took 5 photos of the towbar on my saloon and tried to send them yesterday, but the file size was too big, so unsuccessful. I’ll send them via WETRANSFER, which will then make them dowloadable for a period (7 days IIRC) Please ignore the rust (which shows up more in the photos!) I’ll have to paint it again. NB there are 4 bolts across the rear panel, these attach the towbar and a strip of steel (1.5 inches from memory by about 4mm thick) which is on the inside of the panel to spread the load. The 2 outermost bolts are visible near the ends of and under the number plate. There is a vertical strip of steel welded to the end of the towbar extension which is bolter to the vertical GRP behind the axle (as per diagram in an earlier note). Russ, let me know if you need any more photos.

Fit the wheel and feel for play in the bearings by rocking the rim , very gently tighten the nut until you can't feel the play anymore.

RE: [Quantum Owners] New large disc conversion
Surprising (or maybe not, due to parts OEM parts suppliers making parts as ‘stock’ as possible?). I treated our Ford Ka+ (5-door Ka made in India) to new discs/pads last year. Most of the parts on the car are ex-Fiesta, so when I enquired about replacement parts I was shocked to find Ka+ Pads at £150 a pair, discs similar price (even unknown brands from factors). Some online digging around found the parts were indeed the same dimensions as the fiesta ones, and Ferodo discs/pads at £68 total were used. I suspect the cost from Main dealer including fitting (which took me 45 mins) would be close to £800?

RE: [Quantum Owners] Re: Quantum 2+2 Brakes advise please (and fan switch!)
I don’t know for certain, but given my experience of QH parts, their quality isn’t what it used to be. I fitted a genuine QH track control arm to my Rickman Ranger, and it had terrible play within less than 2000 miles – It was worse than the other side which was probably original, but certainly over 11 years old because I’d never changed it. The vendor (a respected classic parts dealer) confirmed the part was from a genuine source, and refunded me. I bought ‘first line’ ones (available from local motor factor) and they have been ok so far (about 5k miles). I recently bought new Ferodo discs and pads (via Germany) for my Wife’s Ford Ka+, as I didn’t want to buy an unknown brand. Doing some research, it appears Ferodo are still a UK, family-owned company!

Hi James. I know your car is a 1600 so I'm guessing it's XR2 based with vented discs. My early build manual for the 2+2 says to use 17.5mm cylinders (OE number 1630360). These would normally be fitted to non-XR2 Fiestas with rear brake compensators. The 2+2 manual also says to use the rear compensators with these cylinders. As I started building mine before the manual came out and was working from the Saloon manual, I never fitted the compensators but I still use the 17.5mm cylinders. So, if you've vented discs at the front, use 17.5mm cylinders at the back, with or without the rear compensators. As far as I'm aware Ferrodo are still fine, I usually get my brakes from Halfords or Exhausts Unlimited and haven't had any problems. Discs - a quick look on E-bay came up with Mintex and QH discs for less than £30 a pair and Burton Power do a pair for £36 + postage. As for the switch problem, sorry, I can't help. I have a 24" 'Breaker' bar and a single hex, double depth socket, so when I changed my switch, it didn't resist for long!

RE: [Quantum Owners] Quantum 2+2 Brakes advise please (and fan switch!)
I finally managed to open the parts file I had (I wish Microsoft wouldn’t change things when I get a different computer! My car is a saloon, and may not be the same as the 2+2 due to weight distribution. It uses 15mm ones, which are Diesel Fiesta. Part number is off my list, which from the RH column suggests all Fiestas except XR2 are 17.5mm Rear Brake Cylinder 84FB 2261 AC 1630359 Fiesta Diesel 1.6 part 15mm Dia (XR2 is 20mm- others 17.5) I got another pair (a5mm diesel) off ebay last year because mine seized up (lack of use!) My car passed SVA with this set -up (It has the G valves near wheelarch) My best suggestion is to pop a cylinder out of yours and measure it with Vernier to find diameter and buy the same.

Hiya folks I am after some advise please? I am looking to change the rear brake cylinders on Q2-002 as I have a very minor weep issue, I have read both the build manuals, and both state that these are not standard Fiesta parts. The late build manual says 'change the rear wheel cylinders to the correct size, new ones are supplied in the kit', and the original build manual says '17.5mm for Vented Front discs, and 15mm for solid front discs, this is not the same on any other Fiesta'... Does anyone know of the correct parts please, and also are Ferrodo still the brake shoe brand of choice, or is there anything more suitable? Also I may change the front discs / pads as I am not going anywhere fast (pun intended!), is there anything to look out for on these in terms of brand etc? Finally - the fan control switch has failed, I have a new one to fit, but no amount of socket work will shift it, and I am heading for causing damage - any recommendations for where and how to fit an new switch to the cooling system, or should i just fit a manual switch on the dashboard?

RE: [Quantum Owners] Fiesta front indicators intermittent
Some of the parts suppliers eg vehicle Wiring product, Autosparks, etc have bulb holders which may be useful. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Ken Needham Sent: 21 March 2020 12:56 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: [Quantum Owners] Fiesta front indicators intermittent Hi, I have again encountered issues with the front indicators being intermittent or failing just before the MOT is due. I have identified the issue is down to the bulb mount which is a plastic plug and twist fixing but these parts seem to be very rare particularly in good condition. The indicator lenses seem to be easy to obtain but more often than not do not have the bulb mount included. I have found that the problem is actually down to corrosion of contacts within the moulding. I have successfully “fixed” three bulb holders now by using a Dremel with a cutting disk to remove A small piece of the plastic where the plastic is adjacent to the internal contact. The contact is actually made by the feed wire being pushed in from the rear and sliding against the metal strip that goes up the bulb location. The Wire has an end on it preventing the wire being pulled out from the rear. Having cut away the plastic, the wire can be removed and a new wire soldered onto the cleaned metal strip. I have also found a part that could be used to get out of trouble but it is not a perfect replacement fit on Ebay. Replacement Bulb Holder Connector PY21W Indicator Turn Sigal Light BAU15S 581 ( 332007381360 ) This part is slightly smaller in diameter and has 4 location tags rather that the Fiesta 3. By cutting one of the tags off a reasonable fixing can be made.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Mk1 Fiesta servo for 003
Dimensions of Land rover Defender servo… Circumference 590mm (body) 630 (folded seam). So I guess 7.5 inches body or maybe 7 inch diaphragm? The mounting studs for bracket 4 studs on a square, side c/c 88mm 3 ½ inches? 2 mounting studs for master cylinder 83mm c/c (3 ¼ inches) “Thickness” 85mm All dimension approx. (using a metal tape), I can try to get the Vernier on it for more accuracy if required, and also send a photo if needed. It’s surprisingly difficult to measure in situ! Hope that all makes sense. Part number is STC1816 (series 3 - not defender, please forgive my memory). Cost was 59.95, and I got free postage by adding a brake nut for 70p thus avoiding several £ carriage . Britpart is the manufacturer (from most land rover stockists), with IIRC 3 year warranty, the ‘genuine Land Rover’ part was nearly £300 with 1 year warranty – evidence on the ‘net that they are the same part in different packaging! I used a set screw m10 and copper washer to fill an unused thread in the body (believe it’s for a switch/sensor? On the land Rover). You are correct that the Rickman used a mk2 escort servo. This works just as well.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Mk1 Fiesta servo for 003
Hi Jim, I used a Land Rover Defender one to replace the one on my Rickman, IIRC it’s about 6.5 inch diameter (It had to be small ‘cos the Escort one was similarly small! ) It was only £60 brand new and as these were mostly supplied by Girling or similar, the manufacturer’s changed as little as possible to be able to sell a product for another vehicle. I can take some measurements eg c/c of master cylinder bolts and c/c any ‘layout’ of bracket mounting bolts.

RE: [Quantum Owners] New car effect
I don’t intend to part with Quantum (Last Chance Saloon), but find it a little irritating that the old Rickman Ranger gets more interest than the Quantum – Indeed looking at values the Rickman could possibly raise more cash if they were both offered for sale. I prefer to enjoy the cars for what they are, and don’t place much importance on the value (aside from the danger of it being written of by insurance issue if anything happened). I’ve lost interest in any Classic Car mags of late because they all seem to have headlines of “which cars are the best investment to go for this year?” or similar. New product from Quantum will be great to see, and there are also other new cars and body kits due to emerge from other manufacturers in 2020 – With the return of Newark Show as well, this could see an upsurge in Kit Car interest?

(I was still interested in it, though) But I suppose you don’t often see some nit with a car that has no roof, door or windscreen these days! But the funniest one was an offer to buy the Avion. The first unsolicited offer was while I was waiting to SVA it Interestingly, I would also have said cheap insurance. Until this week. The only production car we have is a Jag XF. It has now reached 10 years old and Adrian Flux came up with a 37% decrease in premium over last year to £245! That is cheaper than the Q Coupe last year. See what that comes to next time, but it has been going up each year.

I personally used my 2+2 that I built as a regular car and commuted in it since 2001. And then the coupe also when finished off. We have now retired and we do not need 2 (or 3) regular cars anymore. I plan to keep mine on the road and use them at this point. I also have a very impractical Blackjack Avion for fine days. I note that the trend in Kits is for the more outrageous and impractical kits to keep their value and more practical ones to behave like production cars and devalue. I have certainly been offered as much as it cost to build for my Avion and I think with a bit of effort I could get a some more. It has been a sore topic of discussion just how little Q’s seem to be worth secondhand. Certainly a lot less than their non-rusting practicality. I did for a while consider selling all three of my kits and building one other as a replacement. In the end I decided that cars are not the place to put any money in retirement and I would spend on other things and keep what I had serviceable with slow-time rebuilds, using SORN to keep costs down.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Tax exempt?
My Rickman is registered (correctly) as a Rickman Ranger with the date of 1976 (as per donor vehicle) – I had to do the paperwork to change it to Historic Vehicle, which ISTR I did in the Post Office, who sent it to DVLA. The V5 came back as Historic Vehicle, and saves the VED cost each year, allowing the money to be spent on improving the vehicle. I’ve not gone the route of ‘no MOT’ and probably won’t, although one advantage highlighted is that this facility ‘offers’ the luxury of being able to fix a vehicle without needing to get the MOT done by a specific date . There is of course the caveat that any vehicle on the road has to be roadworthy irrespective of MOT.

Mine let me have the chassis number as Q2-099 but i know many other VRO said it had to be a minimum length. I was also allowed to have my chassis plate screwed on, other VRO insisted the chassis number was stamped into the spaceframe.

RE: [Quantum Owners] ST170 in a saloon
Hi Russ, I don’t recall if you’ve posted about the low oil pressure before (and I’m using a new computer so can’t access notes from before 6 weeks ago ☹. So forgive me if it’s going over old ground, but how do you know there’s a low oil pressure problem? I had a car many years ago which had (for whatever reason) been fitted with a sender which lit the oil pressure light at anything below 30PSI, so in hot weather was a pain because it was unclear if there was a real problem on not. IIRC the more recent Fords have an oil pressure sender which gives warning at about 3PSI, so if it has the regular one the engine is well on the way to being wrecked if it lights the warning! The sender (again IIRC) will have the pressure marked on it in pascals.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Gel coat colour code (red saloon)
That’s what I ended up with and it was VERY dark – I subsequently painted the caravan with an Oxford blue which was closer to the car colour. Oxford Blue (I since found out) is like British Racing Green ….. there are many different versions . The only way is to know what RAL or BS number it is, and even then it’s hit or miss.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon sunroof
I guess a GRP car is ideal for a sunroof if it can be designed so that any ingress is channeled away to the ground. The mk2 Fiesta XR2 sunroof had channels which took the water into the sills and made them prone to rust! – but a similar arrangement in a GRP car shouldn’t present a problem? The sunroof in my Rickman Ranger doesn’t leak, but it isn’t opened very often, and is probably sealed by green moss? Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: John R Sent: 01 October 2019 11:09 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon sunroof MarcoThanks for info guys. I have not dismantled my sunroof yet (large original type) but it is obvious there have been previous attempts to fix/seal it . I am more inclined to blank it off than try and fix seals. In my experience sunroofs are often more trouble than they're worth. Many years ago I had a mk1 Lotus Cortina with large webasto sunroof which always used to bow outwards at high speed (so so we cut it out and replaced with alloy panel) - similar story with a big Marcos kit car. Earlier this year I had to fix the glass sunroof on my daughter's Clio so they don't seem to have improved much over the years! I think the only type I have never had a problem with were the steel sliding panel type with a manual wining handle.
