They are a few miles from me who are very good. They will try there best to get whatever you need and very "Old school" when it comes to fixing or reconditioning stuff (fix rather than sell a new one). The only problem you might have is that they do tend to want to see the part you are replacing as Ford have changed the spec of parts sometimes. They have always measured and checked the parts I have bought to make sure they have so
ld me the correct part.

Do you have any engine builders/reconditioners in Malta?

My local engine builder has always been able to supply OEM or good quality pattern parts such as bearings, pumps, seals etc at good prices. They are far more accommodating (and experienced) than the local Ford dealer or motor factor.

there are a few but none I trust so far when it comes to rebuilding engines I like to know what goes on inside. Thanks for the link I'll give them a call.
