Can I change the rear studs without pulling the half shafts, I want to go for the 7/16ths ones, those piddly 3/8 studs just worry me,

Thankyou

I have been having a rummage about on my Toledo this week, its been a while as I have a prolapsed a disk in my back,
Back to subject, Lower rear DS arch is turning to Rust n Dust, I could make a repair, I know, but I noticed Rimmers do a repair panel for the Dolly, will it fit the Toledo ...

On my Toledo chrome strips, there should be black plastic "finishers" I have numerous missing, is there a source for these? I know I will need to check and see whats missing.

Couldn't sleep last nights started scrolling thru U-Tube for something to watch, and found this vid of said triumph entering the show,

On my travels today Hellingly Festival of Transport there was what looked like a Sprint, but had no sprint badges, and some paperwork to say it was one of a few 1972 cars and was about one of 150 cars called a Triumph 135? was it realtor a spoof?

Deffo not flat seat, the seat within the nut hole is 45deg taper, whereas most taper seats are 60degs, after talking to Compomotive today the thought the wheels would have had a 45 degree taper insert with a internal 60 degree taper, now you have confirmed they have no inserts in the sprint wheels ...

Ooooh Wheel options, scouring the internet whilst laid up from a prolapsed disc, I found what looked like a very dodgy advert on Facebook Selling for a friend ETC, Far too cheap, Cash only, and Far to Far away (but not in another Galaxy), so of course I bought them, knowing exactly what they were, A ...

I have my pooch strapped in the back of our Toledo, as stated above, there are plugs under the rear seat, I used a cheap seatbelt off Amazon, but only used the buckle, also from Amazon was a fly buckle to attach the dog collar to the seatbelt, all in all it took about 20 mins to fit, I dont think ...

Fiesta XR2 bracket welded to boot floor.
There is also reinforcement inside the boot as well.
Couldn’t get any photos inside boot today.
The panhard rod at normal ride height needs to be dead level to get the the full benefit.
Axle isn’t at or anywhere near ride height at the moment.

I honestly can't see the point of adding a panhard rod to a Dolomite.

On a Fiesta, there are a pair of trailing arms and a pair of coilovers, like a Dolomite. But the Dolomite has it's angled upper trailing arms to keep the axle centred where the Fiesta has a Panhard rod instead. The Panhard rod ...
