Hi All,
 
I am interested in replicating parts and components for our old cars that currently are not available anywhere in the world.
 
There has been a lot of interest in the reproduction RS2000 rear spoilers from all over the world, seen elsewhere on this forum.
The spoilers are now being shipped to many parts of Australia, and to many countries.
 
A number of people have raised the question asking, "what is next on your list of parts to reproduce?"
 
This has got me thinking that a lot of parts that I have been chasing, other people are also chasing.
 
So my question to forum members and to the owners of all old vehicles of all types is:
"what parts or components do you need that you currently cannot find anywhere that you would like to see reproduced?"
 
The parts can be for any car, bike or truck, and of any material.
 
I am an engineer with 30 years of design and manufacture experience.
 
ta,
Peter.

Hi Peter,
 
Great job on the spoilers.  They look great!
 
One thing I think you couldn't go wrong with would be the door trims, specifically for escorts form mine, but any classic car owner would be happy to spend up for these items.
 
Good luck with it all and keep the parts coming.
 
Cheers
 
Matt

MK2 escort door handle gaskets (the one that goes behind the handle and onto the door) and reproduction door handles both internal and external. As I found out recently are impossible to find in good condition. window winders would be another, RS2000 nose cones. Just to name a few.

i think a budget rwd kit for zetecs that bolts up to a standard 4 speed in its original position would sell.
i understand there are alot of fabrication hours, but $2500 for retro fords rwd kit is bollocks and thats excluding tax and freight.
im not much into putting nissan engines in fords but its hard to look any further than sr20de when its this expensive to put 
a ford engine in ya esky. cheap and more power than a zetec.
but yeah, budget zetecs on carbs is what the people want i recon.
you could do it on bike carbs as a kit too?

NOS Inner door handles can be found on Ebay UK quite regularly,same with window winders.
I have managed to get both that way.
PM me if you want & i will give you details of a guy that sells them on there fairly often.
Another Mk2 part some of the concourse guys might want is the rubber sound deadening mat of the top of the firewall (covers the bubble area).They are very hard to get in decent nick & i know guys in the UK pay big money for good ones.

Hi Peter.
Like most on here , thanks for the great job on the spoilers.
I would also like to see the door trims added to the list, especially 4 door RS.
Looking at my own needs here. A reproduction air filter box for the 44idf's would be good.
They are going for silly money in the UK now.
I think you might be busy for some time now.
Cheers Steve.

- mk 2 dash top.
- mk 2 rear parcel shelf.
- mk 1 indicator stalk.
- rs nose cone.
- rally pack spoiler.
- sun visor.
- rs steering wheel.

The dash top would be good. I'd buy a couple. Very hard to find without sun damage.

You can get repro idf air boxes from a bloke on a uk forum for a couple hundred euro. Send a PM to rainspeed on http://bbs.rallyesportescorts.co.uk/
You'll be able to get three or four of them for the price of an original.

MK2 escort door handle gaskets (the one that goes behind the handle and onto the door) .


If you ask Garlock they should be able to make these.  They water jet cut any type of gasket or sealing material.  I use them in QLD  for work and their pricing I though was very reasonable for small batch runs (40-50).
