Reconditioned parts supplier

In a completely the opposite spirit of Locosts, but in my current spirit of needing my cars SVA'd by next spring at the very latest:

Does anyone know where I can find a decent place to get the following as recon'd, and be able to exchange my own crappy bits and pieces (all sierra):

Calipers (F&R)
Master Cylinder
Drive Shafts

I might also consider getting my prop blasted and powder coated rather than just wire brushing it and hammeriting.

Cheers

I have used these guys in the past, very good service:

http://www.carparts-direct.co.uk/

There is a guy who works there who knows his kit cars so should be able to help.

Have you tried your local motor factor? If they are Ford parts they will almost certainly be available and will probably be cheaper than from a specialist.

Cheers guys - my local motor factor wanted about £40 per caliper and £52 + VAT per driveshaft (I only wanted CV joints, but he said they opnly came as complete shafts, which I thought was a bit of a bonus, as they'd be all new and shiney)
