I was thinking that I already have a list of parts that can be obtained locally and work very good in cosworths without spending a fortune on original items or shipping them from the UK. What I propose is we all supply a list of stuff that we have used and works OK, for example I have tried a Bosch GB838 rotor button and it was cheap and worked great. I also know of distributor caps and other items that I can list We can make a list of spark plugs, oil filters brake pads anything that is easy and can be purchased locally. It will also stop certain people dictating the spare parts market and pricing, let me know what you think but I believe it will benefit all of us in the long run

sounds like a great idea mate.

Great idea - need to look up some I have got.

Absolutely. Im in.
I know that the front brake pads on the escos and 4 x 4 sierra sapphire,s are the same as V6 early mondeos. Not sure how much use that is but may be availible from Ford or a decent brake supplier.

this is what I have so far and I purchased a lot of these items but not all of them, so I would check before you buy anything
