Yes, will do. I got the kits last week. I need one and a spare and I have sold one, so that leaves seven. If anyone wants one then they work out at £16.99 inc p&p. Just drop me a line.
Will put the spare ones on eBay shortly. Just out of interest, my Series 1 hatch has Mk1 Fiesta MacPherson struts, and, when I rebuilt them, the plastic top hat spacers at the top of them had broken up. I couldn't get them through Ford and so I had some of them made up. There were a few spare pairs of them, if they are any use to anyone. I think the Mk2s are different, so probably not applicable to most Quantums. My Series 1 (S/N 013) is based on a Mk1 Fiesta, with a bought-in CVH engine and 5-speed box (+ Mk2 XR2 dash!). Which, I believe, makes it eligible to be Tax and MoT exempt, as it's first Reg is 1978. I called DVLA and they were supportive, although I haven't done the paperwork yet. Has anyone else been down that route? Dave.
