Hi all. I've hit a (minor) brick wall in re-building my Mk1, and I'm wondering if anyone can help, or suggest where I can get a part from.
The Front Suspension struts are from a Mk1 Fiesta (the type that attach to the bodywork by 2 M8 studs). The bit I need is the circular spacer that locates the top spring mount on the damper rod. It is a sort of top hat section with a large diameter of 45mm, 5mm thick, and a small diameter of 26mm, 4mm thick, and 19mm hole through the centre. I need 2 of them, as they have cracked up on both sides (which probably explains the 'clonking' the last owner complained of). My local Ford dealer identified the part (Cost just over £1 each), but Ford no longer keep it. The Fiesta Centre don't keep it either. I can get some machined up, but that will be expensive when compared with finding some old stock, as I don't have access to a lathe, so I'll have to pay someone to make them from scratch. I know it's an off-chance, but do any of you know where I can get them from. If I do have to get some machined up, then does anyone else need any?
