Re: 2T trolley jack

After many years of using the standard issue Halford trolly Jack I got quite frustrated with the low lift height and the general instability.

Re: Old Moggy is back so parts shopping

Hoses and other rubber parts in particular, though there are better materials for suspension bushes. MarkyB that is a very good point, I had not given much thought about the rubber parts on the old moggy bar looking for 4 new tyres soon. Even if they still held air after 18 years stood still :cry:

Re: Old Moggy is back so parts shopping

Why would it need a coil - is the old one missing? no it is there just keen to get a full set of ignition shipped in and fitted to totally remove this as a potential issue? Check if you perhaps have a place local to you to save postage. Many of these parts you will get at your local 'autoparts' pla...

I am looking forward to modifying it up with a new engine etc but in the first instance I am keen to get it running as it is. SO the $64,000 question is, Where...
