Hello

I have a friend with a ford 100e and he needs new valve stem collects.
Small ford spares don't sell it.

Anyone knows where to find such part?

Regards

I'm pretty sure the word for whatever you are looking for is not "collects". or if it is it's a new one on me.
Might it be "collets"?
If it is try the local Motor Factors. One of those who deal in valves may be able to help. Many parts are available from other than Main Agents.

When I had my Rover P2 head rebuilt last year by Cotterills of Claycross Rob Cotterill turned new ones up in a couple of minutes while I waited as still they had to fit the new valves/springs when I turned up to collect it

I've got a large collection of new, old stock, collets to fit older engines. Some are made by Tranco and others by James. Downside is that I have no references for them, so if you can send me a scaled drawing or a photo, I'll see if I can match them for you.

I've also got quite a few new, old stock, inlet and exhaust valves for many different makes.
