Default Escort mk3 Clutch Quadrant- wrong size??

Hey all, My clutch pedal has been clicking/slipping for a while now. I'm driving an Escort mk3 1.1 (1985). So I started a job I wish I hadn’t, the clutch quadrant . I've got it all in bits and had it back together a couple of times (then realised i've missed the return spring or something) but, i'm concerned I havent got the right clutch quadrant. First of all the old one is Black and the new one is White. I bought the £3 ones off ebay that say Escort mk3. I also asked the seller if it was right for my Car. He said hes sold tons for mk3 Escorts and had no complaints. I've had this changed by a garage 5 years ago so I have no idea what colour the old one was.
When I fit it to the pedal without the return spring the pawl wont freely "ratchet" down the quadrant. It gets stuck a few teeth in, Is that normal? Or is my old one just worn down as that is free to move up and down on its own.
Also, the cable end seems to not want to go into the end of the new clutch quadrant and when you hold them both together... it looks a little smaller. I'm sure I could modify it but I'm starting to think i've got the wrong part? Can't find anything on the internet that can tell me what a 1.1 OHV 1985 Escort clutch quadrant should be? The new part number I have is SX 6200 and this is the ebay link. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274796490...UAAOSwAWhgVy~r

Any help welcome as i've got the pedals in bits / exhausted myself.
