[Quantum Owners] Subframe removal

2019-03-31 Thread dar...@siepka.me.uk 
Just checking if my memory is correct.

To remove the front subframe on a 2+2 that was factory glued on, to save the 
gelcoat from splitting was the technique to warm with a hot air gun?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Subframe removal

2019-03-31 Thread Derek Clews 
H Daren 

I have been thinking of doing mine for a few years now, but events have 
conspired against me.  So the current plan is to SORN the 2+2 over this winter. 
 I have been saving up some old guitar strings to use as a wire to pull through 
and cut the glue where necessary.  I am wondering if the powder coat will 
easily pull away from the metal of the frame anyway. Then I was expecting to be 
able to cut the adhesive back using a blade and then some sandpaper to finish.  
 It would be interesting to see how you get on.  

If the frame is bad, are quantum doing replacements?  Or is it just weld repair 
time?  I plan to stick with the CVH for the foreseeable future, but did wonder 
if I should alter the frame for Zetec anyway as a future possibility for 
someone else, if not me.  What are you doing on that?  

Cheers

Derek

Re: [Quantum Owners] Tyre pressures xtreme

2019-03-31 Thread Clem Robertson 
I agree with Steve.

Depending on tyre size, brand and load rating you may have to run very low
pressures to get grip. My original Bridgestone tyres seem to work best at
around 19 psi but the present tyres seem to need lower pressures.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Tyre pressures xtreme

2019-03-31 Thread Susan and Martin Scott 
Many years ago there was a similar question about Calvy Mitchel kit cars (I 
have one). I just set the pressure 'so the bulge looked correct' which happened 
to be 19psi (on my gauge). Someone in the club who worked at Dunlop put lots of 
numbers in a computer and came up with the same figure!
One thing to bear in mind is that unless you have a very expensive calibrated 
gauge all you can hope for (as long as it gets repeatable results) is that it's 
the same pressure each time with that gauge. Whatever gauge you are using it's 
best to keep an eye on the tyres for any uneven wear, and (as long as the 
suspension is otherwise all ok ) adjust the tyre pressure accordingly. It may 
be for your gauge that a reading of 22 psi may be good. At lower pressures the 
gauge inaccuracies are also likely (than at higher pressures). It's best to get 
the pressures 'correct', but with most kit cars (even if the tyres wear quicker 
than expected) the low mileage will mean the tyres have to be changed before 
they are worn out anyway.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Tyre pressures xtreme

2019-03-31 Thread 'Robert Craig' via Quantum Owners Group 
Here is a trick I learnt years ago. 
Set the tyre pressures to what you think they might be and keep a note. Take 
the car for a spirited 10 minute run. Recheck the pressure, if they have risen 
by more than 2 psi, the pressures are too low. If they haven't risen, they are 
too high. Repeat the process until you get a rise of 1-2 psi after the run. 
This should be the optimum pressure.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Subframe removal

Yeouch! That's something I want to avoid.
I lost a bit when I took my other 2+2 subframe off but it too much.

  Here is a trick I learnt years ago. 
  Set the tyre pressures to what you think they might be and keep a note. Take 
the car for a spirited 10 minute run. Recheck the pressure, if they have risen 
by more than 2 psi, the pressures are too low. If they haven't risen, they are 
too high. Repeat the process until you get a rise of 1-2 psi after the run. 
This should be the optimum pressure.

One thing to bear in mind is that unless you have a very expensive 
calibrated gauge all you can hope for (as long as it gets repeatable results) 
is that it's the same pressure each time with that gauge. Whatever gauge you 
are using it's best to keep an eye on the tyres for any uneven wear, and (as 
long as the suspension is otherwise all ok ) adjust the tyre pressure 
accordingly. It may be for your gauge that a reading of 22 psi may be good. At 
lower pressures the gauge inaccuracies are also likely (than at higher 
pressures). It's best to get the pressures 'correct', but with most kit cars 
(even if the tyres wear quicker than expected) the low mileage will mean the 
tyres have to be changed before they are worn out anyway.

  I agree with Steve. 


  Depending on tyre size, brand and load rating you may have to run very 
low pressures to get grip. My original Bridgestone tyres seem to work best at 
around 19 psi but the present tyres seem to need lower pressures.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Subframe removal

2019-03-31 Thread Derek Clews 
Hi Darren

For a few pounds you can buy a wire saw on evil-bay.  A set of handles with an 
abrasive wire between.  The kind of things that get sold for outdoors use to 
cut down a tree!  Though you never would.  I was thinking of making up my own 
with wire wound guitar strings - I was just being cheapskate as I have the 
strings anyway.  

You could always take up playing guitar….?!
