Hi As much as it pains me to break up a quantum, we have a H4 here that is very much beyond repair, so we will have a column if needed, but will be a few weeks before we are in a position to strip bits off Regards Rob The new 2+2 is horrendously behind schedule due to other developments within Quan

Wow – Thanks for that Jim. I’ve been searching for a Ford parts list (Wife & Daughter both have Ka+ cars – 5 door ka) so have added to favourites. Martin Scott Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Jim Hearne Sent: 28 February 2021 12:35 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Quantum Ow

I checked on the online parts catalogue and it doesn't show any extra brackets, i'm sure the lever and the cable outer both mount to the big alloy casting around the end of the column https://ford.catalogs-parts.com/#{client:1;page:part;lang:en;category:car;catalog:74;param:no;group:0;groupsubg

I thought the new 2+2 was going to be at Stoneleigh last year but of course that was cancelled. I guess it will be cancelled this year as well (if it's not been already) unless it has been moved to later in the year. Jim On 27/02/2021 18:29, susanandmartin wrote: I notice on Totalkitcar.com

Hi I think there is a bit missing. I think there probably should be a bracket in there which holds the release handle pivots and provides a point for the cable sleeve to be held correctly. I can fabricate stuff. The problem of course is having no drawings to work with so that the release ha

I can only think that part of your column is missing/been changed. Is it possible to rig up a suitable bracket to bolt onto your column? To hold the outer cable, there are many bicycle brake cable parts which may help – Ebay may give some inspiration, and I may well have something in my spares b

Hi My H4 has an awful bodge on the steering column bonnet release - actually it isn't even bodged, the cable sheath is not constrained at all and there is no lever. I have obtained the orange lever and spring which appears to be correct and I have sourced a cable which will work. However havi
