'Twas ever thus since the advent of Ebay Tim - you remember the old days when people ventured out looking for a car, today it's all done online after a few beers.

All done - Nick should call you today. If not let me know and I'll chase him up.

You seem to be doing well - I assume it's a post '64 car? Lamps for those gauges can sometimes be found on Ebay as odd sales, but there are people on there who refurbish these instruments & could help, like "Smiths gauges" their Ebay seller id so message them. Speedy Cables in Wales also may have some. The voltage stabiliser is a 5v unit & I bought a solid state one off ebay.
-
OK I'll pass your number onto Nick and get him to call you. It's been reconditioned and he sold his Mk1 Lotus so has no need for it.
-
Is it a Girling Mk2a servo you need? I know a friend who has a reconditioned one for sale.

They didn't sell surprise surprise. Relisted here if anyonewants the for a tenner. EBAY LINKY
-
Anyone fancy a cheap set of Tinilites - advertised badly on Ebay EBAY
-
Yes looks like they have gone - good luck with the search.

Sine Brexit, shipping to Europe is more hassle - the customs people seem to be very pedantic & stuff gets returned for spurious reasons. US shipping is probably diffficult again through bureaucracy, paperwork etc.

Anither set for sale by friend of mine. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2237606370105170/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A3aee0620-32c9-47ac-9595-df7ebd58ed04

They only sell inserts.

Get yourself a pair of Mk1 disc struts on Facebook Marketplace or Ebay for about £100 and add a pair of P16 Calipers which are also freely available. Postage is going to be lumpy though. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1427238308595083/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aee5819f8-f8a6-4ac4-a630-946a79241897

Good luck.

Fuel tanks will most likely be a repo one these day - https://www.retroford.co.uk/product/mk1-cortina-fuel-tank-raw-finish/ Boot lock, wipers & grille - try Dale Stevenson 01509 264550 Grille, wipers, wing - John Court 07779385045 Indicators (rare) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/127568724918 Wings are rare now and about £1200 a piece but Expressed steel make them still. https://www.steelpanels.co.uk/products/ford/cortina-mk1/engine-compartment-cortina-mk1/cortina_mk1_lh_front_wing_ec94/

I see a lot of copper lines but they always look a bit out of place - can you get them in silver finish but not steel?#
-
If they are genuine Mk1 Lotus springs you'd be better off selling them & buying yourself a new pair of Mk2 springs with the proceeds.
-
Parachute cord I am told is best but God knows whee they sell that.
-
I seem to remember it was simply a piece of steel tube with an interference fit. Not a problem if left off I would say - oil still ends up back in the sump.
-
It was the GT cam used by Ford so should be fine.
