loony,s dad is good on the ,lathe,, isnt he? ? so it shouldnt be a problem ,,,, primitive ford kingpins and bush,s are a ,,doddle,, to make ... and if youre,s are very badly worn ,,i.e... through the bush to the steel.. then a standard kit may not be alot of use .... my dad taught to do kingpins and the like when i was a nipper,,(many years ago )

Ooh, that looks promising Terry. Can't afford it for a couple of weeks, (77 quid plus a tenner postage), but I've saved that page to my Favourites List & will give them a call. Thanks for that.

with a vehicle of that age you will probably need shims under the thrust bearings to limit the lift

I got mine from the popshop last year up the HRDs, they should be there next weekend (The reamer is at the shed) Also bought a complete Pop front axle (Including brakes and wishbone) the other week for the stub axles as I had problems with mine in the build. There seams like there is no play in the king pins, so will wait until I have changed them to se if I have to fit new bush's.

Snafu, it's 7W-33111 - king pin set. For a 1953 Ford Popular 103e.
I haven't bought from the Pop Shop so can only go on what others have said. I don't like to run anyone's business down on a public forum, but if the kits are easily available elsewhere I'll err on the side of caution & spend my meagre pocket money somewhere else.
Tony, I did wonder if they'd be for sale at the Nostalgia Nationals next weekend. Haven't really got the money till the end of the month, but would try & rustle it up just so I've got a set in my hand to go home with. Not sure I've actually asked you yet, but I've kinda pencilled you in for the job! Thought I'd let you debut the new race car first though before taking up your valuable workshop time with my bits.

Been speaking with Mr Snafu. Seems he may be able to sort a discounted price on the kingpins, so should be able to pick 'em up soon. Talking of picking stuff up, I nipped over to Newbury in Berkshire this afternoon after work & collected the seat frames from the powder coaters. I had to take the seats out to work on the floors so thought I may as well bung 'em in for coating. Satin black. These are new reproduction Austin 7 frames, intended to be upholstered, which I picked up from an auto jumble for 20 quid the pair. The welding's not pretty, but the upholstered bases hide most of it. The swage lines in the backs are a bit wobbly too, but they add a bit of hand made character! I made some box section bases to attach the seats to adjustable runners. Early hotrods often used lightweight aluminium seats from war surplus bomber planes. These are our British take on the design. We'd originally planned to have the steel coated in metallic silver to mimic aluminium, but decided on black instead.
