i bought the parts today and they cost Ł21.

AP recommend the upgrade as the pedal will be stronger to use with an uprated/heavier clutch.

 

Picking up my parts tomorrow

 

from ford i take it Adam

 

Yes, just got back actually.

 

my quadrant is now 10 teeth shorter, now its time for the fun part

 

any advice for removing clutch cable from transmission release lever?

Haynes maunal forgets to mention that the metering head is in the fookin way

 

Get some smaller hands? Get the missus to do it?

It is quite tight!

Make sure you protect your eyes when you remove the pedal box pivot retaining clips as they have a tendency to flick off at high velocity!!

 

FPMSL will have a look for my long nose pliers!

duly noted, will arrange some goggles lol. i couldn't see much under there anyway had the sun shining right in my eye!

 

when doing the conversion do you use the original spring as it seems a bit big for the mk5 pedal...........

 

you dont use the spring ratchet or quadrant, junk it all it works with the pressure from you pressing the clutch and to stop the quadrant springing back too far you use the m8 locknut. make sure you put the m8 locknut on back to front as it will eventually cut into the quadrant and brake it if you dont.

 

gambit thanks matey that makes a lot more sense now!
