Online Ford Spares ????
rpsmith - 11/5/06 at 01:45 PM

Does anyone know of any online ford spare parts dealers??

I was hoping to fing something like "German Sweedish & French" or "Eurocarparts" but i am unable to find anything for Ford.

If not, where is the best place to buy new gaskets for a 2.0 Pinto??

Thanks

Richard

Most motor factors will get normal ones.

Ive used Gaskets for classics with success.

GMS Capri spares are also very good.

I went into one motorfactor and was quoted £280 for a full set!! Sure he must have been having a laugh.

Paid about £15 for a full set in the end, including a head gasket. But thats because I know someone in the trade and get stupid discount.

The gaskets are very readily available from automotive parts suppliers.

Sounds like they multiplied the price by 17.5 instead of 17.5%!!! Id want the engine reconned for that!

sets are always on ebay - I paid a tenner in delivery for a full set

Burton Power for Ford engine parts.

I've found SAP to be pretty good on price and range of stock as well.
