As thread title really, my ball joint covers are very crumbly, they need replacing before my MOT anyone found a sauce (sp) for some decent quality replacements? I'm six ball joint covers away from getting an mot, I don't really want to change all the ball joints as they're in great condition...

Where's the sexy pic of you sat on it with the beret on? :-D

I have a 2cv version somewhere.

Don't use easy start, we use carb cleaner its more gentle..

That's how I've done my past two, cars, although I actually use a very thin cutting disk, cut it off, repair the jacking point, then weld the bottom of the A post back on. The original A post is far better than the replacement panels and I do not want to be lifting the body off.

I've had this too, even worse are the rotor arms which the insulation breaks down on once hot becoming a fault which is very difficult to diagnose! Keep an eye out for new old stock parts and buy them up...

Hi Gordies, I'd be ok with getting them posted up to you, I have some big boxed that they should be good to go in. I'll just need to work out the postage costs..

I'd be interested in a set of inner arch liners though... :-D

There you go, they have surface rust, with a small amount of rusting along the outer wing mounts, but they are whole and in good overall condition.

Welcome to the forum.

Bugger, if you need any help with your car let us know I'm only 25 miles away in Banbury.

I'll get them down out of my rafters and take some photos. Pretty sure they're damm solid. But don't hold me to that. I bought them for a project from a chap in France, so they're pretty rust free.

I have a pair of relatively rust free inner wings sat on the roof of my workshop. £100 each.

Hi Giulietta, if you mean a tent, then no. The event is just for one day, we rock up gather around, have a cup of tea, (or coffee if you prefer) and generally have a great little meet up. I'm sure someone local would be able to pick you up, if not I'll gladly drop by and pick you up.

Welcome to the forum,but as is usual with a welcome thread. It is useless without pictures... :)

You mean you've heard about my snoring? :-D

Yeah I've jacked up the suspension arm, but I'm going to try it with all four wheels on the floor next. This is the earlier 4 pipe version and it's quite different to the later three pipe version I had before.

Just what I was looking for, I have exactly the same problem with my rear valve too..

Hi and welcome, it certainly looks in better condition than my very poor white 4tl, good luck getting all the issues sorted out, I'm sure it won't take you long, there isn't really much to go wrong on these great cars...
