Angrybiker Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Been a Z owner for about a week and already this forum's saving me £££. Thick rubber washers did the trick. Thanks guys Quote
Richie94gts Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Hi, I'd like my poppers recon'd if possible. Sent you a pm. Thanks. Quote
Shiner Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Hi Pete, I'd love a set of these if you have any. Sent you a pm, Cheers. Quote
KurtB Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Has anyone heard from the OP for a while? I sent a PM a couple of months back and heard nothing back, thought he might be working away or something! Quote
Richie94gts Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I haven't heard anything, I pm'd in may. Quote
Humpy Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I highly doubt he is doing this anymore. Last time I met up he was considering selling, I was a guinea pig for this and somehow never ended up with the end product as promised. Never chased it up though. Quote
Hooch Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Well if he's not selling anymore then rubber washers are the cheapest and easiest solution going, used them in mine just like the penny trick and they don't damage paintwork. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15x-ASSORTED-RUBBER-TAP-WASHERS-3-8-1-2-3-4-Sink-Bath-Basin-Drip-Seal-Plumb-/201114993323?pt=UK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&hash=item2ed36342ab These should work a treat!

niz Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Does anyone know if you can DIY this spring replacement and where the springs can be got? Quote
ZEUS Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know if you can DIY this spring replacement and where the springs can be got? Take the spring out of yours and get a slightly longer, stiffer spring from a spring supplier. https://www.springmasters.com/?gclid=CLWd98Lv5cwCFYEy0wodgm4Oww Edited May 19, 2016 by ZEUS Quote

Take the spring out of yours and get a slightly longer, stiffer spring from a spring supplier. yup that's pretty much the direction I'm going in. I'm just looking to skip the process of taking out the spring, driving somewhere to a find a spring supplier etc etc and just buy two off ebay Quote
ZEUS Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I think unless you can get hold of peteman or someone with his uprated springs then it's going to be trial and error. Quote

I agree - See I went to do the penny mod only to find the previous owner has already been there (although there are only 2). I might fire in a couple of rubber washers and see what that does first.

ZEUS Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I've used rubber as it doesn't damage the paint where the popper sits when closed. Quote
niz Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 yes right enough - I'll do both those things this weekend - I had forgotten about the weight! Quote
Jay.1r Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I will have a set, can you pm me your payment details and address thanks Quote
