Fordopedia

[Derek Clews]

Dear All,

Any of you heard of Fordopedia?  Seems to have the ford Catalogue online.  Strangely the ford system and the Fordopedia class the Fiesta Mk 2 under the same as the Mk1.  No mention of the Mk2 in the title but separate pages for it anyway.  e.g. http://www.fordopedia.org/parts-catalog/fiesta-mk1/E3.20

Any more info on getting parts ID’ed or part numbers explained?

Interesting, looks like somebody has worked out how to extract the raw data from Fords Microcat.

 

The Mk2 was a facelift of the Mk1 rather than a new car so a lot of parts are common to them both and they are grouped together on Microcat.

 

I will have a look on Microcat tonight and compare the Mk1/2 and Mk3 adjusters but i think they are different.

 

I don’t think I’ve ever had to replace any, whats wrong with yours ?

 

Jim

Hi Jim,

This part is not usually included with brake shoes or fitting kits as a consumable.  The other half often is, (the lower smaller part with a spring) so gets renewed while this part has to be transferred on and on until it wears out.  My Q 2+2 had done c120,000 when the adjuster teeth wore down and slipped.  I got a new set from Eddie some time ago and fit them and now the Coupe has had the same problem.  It means the affected side will not hold on the handbrake and the footbrake becomes less effective.  It’s an  MOT fail, so it’s important to get them done, even if you can leave the car in gear when parked ………..!

Derek,
Have you tried contacting Quantum Heritage?  I think they have the old Quantum stock so may be able to help?

Regarding putting part information and numbers on the club site, yes it can be done.  Send the detail to webm...@quantumowners.co.UK so it can be added.

Thanks Steve,

I’ve sent them an email.

Steve,

I wonder if we could have a ‘personal experience’ data base that goes beyond the Ford numbers - seems that the microcat is available on line now!  But it would be good to document the normal numbers and the useable alternatives, e.g. if a Mk 3 or Mk1 part fits.  Seems that many engine parts, clutch,  gearbox and some suspension are useable across the models.  But obviously, the headlight is Mk2 only.  Some aftermarket stuff may be a good option.  Hope that gives an impression of what I am suggesting.  It’s really harnessing the clubs collective knowledge & experience to the benefit of all members and keeping the cars on the road.  

Cheers

Derek

only in case of . .  . .

 

If the teeth are worn and you need to get through MOT you can spot-weld the adjuster in a position that allows you to just get the drum over the brake shoes.

Then adjust the handbrake so the mot handbrake  and rear brake test goes ok.

 

if someone can make a drawing in AutoCAD it can be laser cut . . . .

Looks like the same diagrams .

For info those adjusters are on Ebay (from Italy but still cheaper)

We did have a database of some parts on the old smartgroups site, i think i've still got a copy somewhere.

I've done a cross catalogue search of the Mk2 (The Mk1 is different again) Fiesta part number 6177237 and it isn't used on any other Fords.
I suspect the Mk3 part will be longer because of the larger drum diameter on the Mk3

Thanks Jim & Steve,

Seems they are unique then.  The listing for the Italian items, they certainly look correct but still under 1983 in the title. (Mk1 date)  Seems to be  bit of confusion.  No wonder its difficult to search!

It seems I have “lost” my 2+2 and saloon building manuals (even the ones I translated to Dutch) 

 

can someone scan and mail me the page with the electric schematic regarding the relays, diodes etc needed to operate the motor for the headlight flaps

 

I got the rear wiper motor going again – modified a set of bosch handdril contact brushes by sanding them down to 4x 4x 9mm and soldered a new diode on the outside

 

but need the schematic to find out why the motor gets no power when I turn the lights on.

 

Thanks

Hans
