Okay i will still pop over. I have a couple of other ideas but need to see the car. Lady Q was an early 2 +2 it'll be a good comparison with memory of the build. We can see if it will work for you.

I suspect that someone previously managed to get the lever further back meaning that the leaver was pressing on the thrust bearing was permenantely (like someone riding the clutch). I have ordered a 55mm Escort quadrant, but won’t be here for Sunday. I will pull the engine back out to double check the clutch parts and the release arm for any defects.

Martin I refitted the pedal box and fully depressed the clutch. The is still quite a bit of travel on the release arm. So looks like there is an issue with the adjuster and or cable.

My fix was to modify the white quadrant to increase the radius to the cable and increase the amount the cable moved. Eventually I fitted a quadrant from a Mk3 Escort (81-86), Ford part number 78GB7L583AC. This was coloured black (I don't think that means much). This had a larger radius and solved the problem. The bite point is still on the low side but doesn't create an issue.
