Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Timing Belt

No not done it yet. Started the job, but first checked alternator with fan belt off. Lo and behold noise was alternator bearings, had a spare from the Xtreme so fitted that. So can belt and water pump waiting to be done. Thanks for all the inputs. Nigel On Wed, 11 Jul 2018, 11:49 Jim Hearne,

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy wheels

Martin, I have the same weels but in 14” On the inside of the wheels you should have a black plastic ring. If you lose it – as I did many years ago – the weels will not sit exactly in the middle of the hub/drum and it will wobble. It sometimes sticks to the hub/drum. take a good look. These

As Jim says re wheel bolts. An alternative (which I used) is to get the hubs machined to remove the threads/make the holes slightly larger and fit wheel studs (ISTR they were Focus ones) of the correct length, and then use the correct nuts for the new alloy wheels. I think mine wheels (1999

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Alloy wheels

The 5.5J and 6J are the width of the wheel rim in inches. You also need to look at the ET, the offset. Ford standard for the Mk2 Fiesta is ET35, you can vary it a bit though. But the wider you go on the rims the more important the actual offset becomes. Make sure the new rims are specifically

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Alloy wheels

5.5 and 6 are the width of the wheel J is the code for the shape of the cross section of the wheel rim , when you take the tyre off there is a wide channel round the wheel to make fitting the tire easier j tells you the shape . Get Outlook for Android

Very similar but the wheels Martin has seem to be more angular where the spokes meet the rim. Jim From: Tom Walker Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2018 12:38 PM To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy wheels TSW stealth? On Wed, 11 Jul 2018, 12:30 'Martin

[Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Alloy wheels

Thanks Jim. No other numbers or markings on the wheels themselves. Profile of the rims is fine, nice and flat inside and evidence of previous weights being fitted. The profile was one of the default settings on the machine I used to balance them - showing me where to place the new weights on

Google found this site https://brock.de/en/abe-number-search/ They have very similar part numbers, maybe a older wheel they did ? Check the rear of the wheel for part numbers as well. Jim From: 'Martin Hodnett' via Quantum Owners Group Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2018 12:29 PM To: Quantum Owners

Hi Martin, I’m pretty sure they aren’t original Ford wheels, i don’t recognise them. If they were they would have the Ford logo and Ford part number cast into them somewhere. Any more numbers under the centre cap ? Original Quantum in Stourbridge used to sell various aftermarket wheels, i have
