These dollies are fine in compression, but weak when sideways forces are imposed.

That was really my original question. In the confined space that I have is there an alternative to these dollies? I ...

Wonâ€™t that make the connection between exhaust and chassis too rigid? I thought it needed rubber to buffer any exhaust vibration?

Thanks for that information.

I donâ€™t think my car can configure to the original mounts as itâ€™s a special and has a bespoke exhaust system that sort of lies along the edge of the chassis.

I ...

Hi Guys

I have a Ford side valve special so am unsure of the standard exhaust mounts. My car has had the following configurations since I've owed it. The issue is that the exhaust is mounted to the ...

Yes. Iâ€™ve contacted FSOC. The only problem is there is quite a lag between enquiry and delivery. They are going to look for a gear lever spring on the next visit to stores (next week sometime).

Itâ€™s a straight spring but it does look a bit big compared to the exploded diagram. Not sure where I can get a correct size one. Small Ford Spares donâ€™t stock it.

No washer 7207 present either ...

Right I've got the selector off the gearbox and had a play with the gears.

Mounted the selector on a workbench and tried moving the lever.

Hi Everyone,

Is there a towing eye or towing point on the Ford Pop 103E? I need to winch my car onto a trailer and am not sure if there is a specific point you're supposed to attach the winch strap ...

Hi Guys

Hi Guys

I've got a Ford E93A Ford Pop 10 HP special. I seem to be having a recurring problem in that every year my front brake boot rubbers seem to keep splitting.

I know some guys who have had ...

Hi Guys

I have an 103E Pop (E93A) and I'm about to fit the short braided fuel pipe that goes between the mechanical fuel pump and the rigid fuel line. (My current configuration is rigid right up to ...

Yes I have tried this company. They do not sell complete lead sets for the E93A only part leads without end and separate connectors that you put on yourself. I was hoping for a complete ready-wired se ...
