Ok as per title just wanted to know what parts I need, I have done a search and from what I can gather I need a mk5/6 pedal and ideally one of those alloy quadrants?

Is there any good guides for doing the conversion or is it fairly straight forward, all the threads I read kept linking to a guide on ap's website but it is no longer there.

 

piece of piss mate. get the pedal from ford then order the alloy clutch quadrant from www.extremesportsproducts.com and then email them and theyll send you instructions on how to fit it all. best thing you can do, fit and forget.

I was going to get the pedal from the scrappy, i suppose it is alot easier just to get a new one are they expensive?
As for the quadrant I see they are out of stock but was reading a thread earlier saying they will have some in a month or so? they have all the details of fitment?

 

Escort Clutch Pedal Modifications

Ř220mm Clutch Fitment to Ford Escort range 1986 onwards.

To improve clutch release on Ford Escorts, post 1995 models are fitted with an adjustable clutch pedal and improved (white) quadrant as standard (see photo's).
When fitting CP3560-1, CP3560-2 cover assemblies or the clutch kits CP2000-8, CP2015-8 & CP2000-35 , AP Racing recommends that the adjustable pedal, improved quadrant and a new clutch cable are fitted to optimize clutch release in light of the higher release loads.

The latest Mk5 Escort Quadrant (white) has an increased radius R55mm over the Pre 1995 Quadrant (black) R40mm.
The following mods need to be carried out when fitting the white quadrant, if not the pedal will sit too high. Count 10 teeth up from the lower edge of the quadrant.
Using a hacksaw cut along the line of the rib to the centre boss.
Cut at right angles to remove this section.
Add the M8 locknut supplied in the clutch kit to the pedal adjuster bolt.
Fit it back to front, this will prevent the bolt slipping off the quadrant during clutch actuation.
Adjust the bolt until the desired pedal position is achieved.
The increased radius of the white quadrant allows for more travel at the release bearing, hence improving clutch release/gear selection.
Important Note
AP Racing CP3560 Cover Assemblies should only be used in conjunction with our recommended driven plates (see below) and not with OE or alternative driven plates.
CP3560-1 cover can be used with CP5351-16 organic driven plate or CP5354-15 cerametallic paddle driven plate.
CP3560-2 cover should only be used with the CP5351-38 organic driven plate (uses flat segments) or CP5354-15 cerametallic paddle driven plate.
Failure to comply with any of the above recommendations is likely to result in release problems with your clutch.

 

yeah mate, they will send you a step by step guide on how to actually fit the quadrant and pedal (not just mod it) if you email them once youve bought it. it really is straight forward and a great mod. you could just do the above but you WILL break it and be back to square one.

you could pm nigel b on here as he was the guy i originally asked if he could help when i found out he was an engineer when i met him, its hes mate that makes them.

I've got a complete MK6 pedal assembly up for grabs if you need

 

It costs just Ł15 from Burton and the quadrant Ł10. But for the quadrant I would go for www.extremesportsproducts.com

 

got the metal to make them but i think the machine is still broke
shouldnt be long hopefully

 

Could really do with one of these now, bin waiting ages and broke yet another plastic one today ffs.....another drive home without a clutch lol

 

Thanks for all the feedback and info guys looks like i'll have to wait till the metal quads are back in stock.

From what i've read you also use a standard mk4 clutch cable, non-abs I believe is all that is available now?

 

yeah mate, ya normal cable, buy a new one while ya at it, thats what i did.

dave.

 

Cheers i'm gonna start getting the bits together to do this I think.
