Pete Ashby once told me a Volvo 240-series exhaust muffler makes for a good replacement; the flathead keeps a throaty roar with one of these fitted.

Default Thanks Hanno!

Thanks for telling me about the Volvo muffler, Hanno.

I took another look at the Ford manual, and it shows front springs with bolt-on clamps all round. Anxiously looking forward to the test-fit this afternoon.
