Hi all, 3 things to ask if I may?
I am looking to replace the little rubber parts on the back plates that cover the exit of the handbrake mechanism.
I just wondered if anyone knew where to get them?

I am looking to replace the little metal centre covers on the front hubs (Cortina) are these still available?

Finally the small strips that go inside the front hubs that you lift to lock off bolts for the discs, can you still get these?

Thanks in anticipation,

Rich

I need the same parts.
The rubber gaiters are like hens teeth.
I bid over £15 for a second hand pair on ebay and didn't get them . I was expecting to get them for under a tenner.
The grease caps can be obtained but nice, as new ones, seem to go for daft money as well.
I have decided to make my own tabs.

Cheers Big wasa, that's the locking tabs out of the way just the other items to find - I have managed to come across the centre grease caps at Westfield so will probably purchase those - but I am still having no joy tracking down the small rubber covers for the rear axle if confused is correct and they are like hens teeth then I am in for a long wait!?

Might be worth getting in touch with someone like Pastparts in Bury st Edmunds? Or check out Practical Classics mag for specialists for the rubbers IIRC they are Girling parts?

Thanks Rusty, have sent both an email to see if they can provide or at least point me in the right direction. Hopefully I will be able to post soon with an answer.

No luck I'm afraid - I have phoned everyone I can think off ! One guy knew exactly what I was speaking about but hadn't had any of the parts in for 10 years!!

Anyway I am going to pop into the old newsagents and have a quick shufty at a classic ford mags to see if that helps, if anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

Don't know if they are the same size, but you can still get ones for mini drum handbrake levers.

Maybe a trip to the scrapyard might find an alternative source.

Confused but Excited, if you need those grease caps - they aren't that expensive I have found direct from Westfield...

Didn't know if you'd tried there or not.

Worth a try, cheers Rich.
The last time I tried to get something from Westfield, I was told to sod off, because I couldn't provide them with a chassis number.

I think they must've given up now with the amount of 7's out there they either beat em or join em... needless to say they joined them and this is their comment in their parts store...
