I have a used set of red springs but I've lent them to Calum McPherson to test 
on his 2+2.

[Quantum Owners] Compatible parts?

2018-06-13 Thread Susan and Martin Scott 
A recent search for a brake servo for my Rickman (Escort mk2 based) has come up 
with a Land Rover item which I'm confident will be a good replacement. Whilst 
searching I found other servos and master cylinders from the Land Rover range 
which look as though they could be simple (and relatively low cost) swaps for 
the Fiesta items! In particular the later (small) master cylinder looks as 
though it could be replaced with the Discovery one.
Unfortunately getting accurate (or indeed any) dimensions off the stockists is 
the usual 'dead end' one expects, and on requesting the centre-centre dimension 
of 2 fixing bolts I was told "I've got one in front of me, but my Manager says 
we don't have a measuring device."  Fortunately I was able to find an old 
reference on the 'net which gave the info I needed. Hopefully (with old Fords 
becoming collector's items) we may find it easier to get some parts which have 
been discontinued, but it's certainly helpful to find other vehicles with a 
huge spares availability - An MGB alternator is the same as a some old Ford 
ones for instance.
I'm not surprised at some commonality to other vehicle makes, as the parts 
suppliers will sell the same or very similar parts to whoever they can as it's 
easier/cheaper for them to do that - It's just finding them. Sometimes the same 
part can have different part numbers when fitted to more than one model in the 
same manufacturers catalogue!

So this is the red car featured on the factory leaflet, with the doctored photo 
below, presenting the round headlight version.
The doctored photo presented the 'normal' Quantum frontend on the 2+2 , but 
taken from a saloon.

RE: [Quantum Owners] Re: For Sale 2+2 Chassis No Q2-001

2018-06-13 Thread 'Chris Fairlie' via Quantum Owners Group 
Jim

 

I don’t know anything of the early history of my car, but Rob Hancock has 
confirmed it is indeed the first 2+2.

 

Dave

 

I would love to gather any information on the history of my car. I have MOT 
certificates from 1996 and know the two owners from 2000 to now, but nothing 
earlier. I thought I had an old kit car magazine with an article on the 2+2 
launch with a red round headlight model, but cannot find it now.

 

Regards

 

Chris Fairlie

Hi All

I thought that the first 2+2 was a red round headlight version which was tested 
by various magazines. I believe it was scrapped by Quantum because it had been 
badly damaged by the magazine's journalists.

This would make Q2-002 the oldest 2+2. A round headlight version owned by my 
son James, previously owned by me.
