Hi Jesse.

We have a member who imports parts from the UK so he may have most of the parts you need. His name on the forum is Avengerparts

When I restored my '75, I got Graeme (Avengerparts) to import some of my window rubbers. the rest I got locally at Reid & Twiname http://www.retwine.co.nz/

The suspension bushes I used are nolathane but you can still get rubber ones.

recently done windscreen rubber on my 76, they used a universal type / same as on a Escort I beleive (receipt here :

In case anyone cares / reads these things here's the bill for the Front windscreen rubber



will be the same if you're an Esky fan, looks swish now I seen a bill for a windscreen too, not much change from $3k from the last member here who had one replaced via insurance

Young Jesse will be searching the group again soon, as the rebuild has commenced!

I'm doing similar "50th" birthday on my car & found these

NOW the trouble is the exact same part here

is not flagged as "for our cars"

I might bite bullet on that one and try them out (have had fail in past with wheel bearing part that "was" for Avenger (but wasn't)

so yeah unless anyone can confirm or deny, sharing info for the community would be mucho gracias' <3
