Great stuff Chris. I had just got the info on the mod from my dad
yesterday, but looks like Geoff beat me to it.
Will be interested to know if you manage to work out how to raise the bite
point a little higher than from just off the floor.

Hi Chris
Good to hear you've made some progress but can you enlighten the rest of us on
the pedal box modification that Geoff has or can Geoff post the details?

I thought i had mentioned this in a earlier reply but maybe i didn't.
There were 2 lengths of clutch release lever used that match up with the 2
cable holes in the gearbox that you've seen.

Hi
This won't help, but Q2-002 has always had a low clutch bite, so I don't
know if it is a 'feature' of the early Quantums. It does not drag or creep
though. I can have a look for the build manual if you want to see if it
has any modifications?

For reference the later build manual that came with my dad's car suggested
a mod to the pedal box to do with the pawl release that might help. Can't
be undone though, as involves cutting about 9mm off the release and
subsequent stop.

These are the details for manual clutch adjust modification but it's for a Mk3
Fiesta.
I have done it on my 2+2 but i had to modify the pedal to get it to match the
other pedals.
Somewhere i have details
