Hi, I managed to melt one of the fuel lines while welding in some roll cage footplates. :roll: I have removed the old plastic line and am trying to fit a spare I had to the metal part. It was left it in boiling water for ten minutes before fitting it and have lubed up the pipe to get it...

Hi, After dropping my tank today in the vain hope of getting it reconditioned along with a load of other work, when trying to get off the rubber hoses held on with clips which had turned into a brown lump one of the metal pipes sheared off due to being rusty. Guess it's in the bin now! Does...

Hello! My MiG Welder has decided to play up and I can't really justify buying a new one at the moment while getting ready to fit a bolt in half cage. Does anyone know anybody or place which is decent who would fit it for me nearby to the Wirral? Cheers, Ben.

If you have bonnet pins remember to pin the bonnet down before hooning down the motorway. :roll:

Hi, Anyone in the Merseyside area with a black bonnet for sale? (I'll be going to Ian G for a different colour one soon, but was wondering.....) Cheers, Ben.

Hi, Where do people go now to purchase shims for the 1.7 engine? Obviously ford no longer sell them. I'm fitting some Newman cams and require a full set for the exhaust cam and one for the inlet. I've asked at a local engine rebuilders and they're going to get back to me but in case of them...

Hi, After fitting some Newman cams I'm having to re-shim a couple of the valves. Does anyone know the part number for the inlet cam stretch bolt please? The car has only been around the block a couple of times after fitting a new Gates timing belt kit, so just need the inlet bolt but can only...

Hi, I'm in the middle of fitting a pair of new Piper FRP cams to my 1.7 and I've hit an issue. I'm not able to get the FRP timing tool into notches at the end of the camshafts. It's almost as is the tool is a little too thick. In the attached pictures you can see the issue i'm having...

Hi, Where do people use online ford parts these days? I used to use Foray but they've moved on a few years ago. I'm after the gasket that goes between the block and the breather housing. It's pretty much the only thing I can't find! It's ford part number 1008056. Cheers, Ben.

I popped into Ford yesterday after the front two heat shields and they no longer stock them. Hope this saves someone a trip! Cheers, Ben.

Hi, As part of stripping out my Puma for track days both pre-tensioners are removed and the normal steering wheel has been replaced. I'd like to remove the Airbag control module which is now redundant but now obviously get a solid warning light on the dash. Short of attacking the dashboard...

Hi, My rear demister tab on the drivers side is missing. Does anyone have one for a small fee? Possibly the smallest parts request ever! Cheers, Ben.

Hi, I'm in the process of stripping out the interior and am wondering what the round thing with the electrical connecorat the top right of this picture is and can I remove it? (not my picture, but credit to whoever took it!) Cheers, Ben.

If it helps anyone who is stressing about noise levels........ Yesterday I did a day around Outlon Park in my Puma, it measured 84db on the static test. I was running a Sportex 4-2-1 manifold (unwrapped), no cat, race pipe and a standard rear silencer from eurocar parts. Cheers, Ben.

Hi, I've recently put on a 4-2-1 manifold and had the gear selector disconnected. I was getting some crunching in reverse when letting the clutch out after re-fitting so have tried to adjust it. Following this (Posted by ScubaSteve a few years ago):- 'under car disconnect gear lever...
