| Cosworth spares in America | ||
| A lot of people think that Cosworth ownership in America means having a steady supply of ordinary parts from England. While there is truth in this, it's not necessarily the case. As I have been investigating, I have found several parts easily available in America. | ||
| Oil Fiter - STP S3512 oil filter, Also Mobil 1 oil filter M1-204 (thanks Wes) Air Filter - K&N 33-2532 reuseable replacement panel air filter (any Autozone can order these) Cosworth front & rear discs - Available from BAT (www.batinc.com) in Florida Dump Valve/BOV - Available from www.roadsterperformance.com (Bailey models). Rercirculating and atmospheric valves available. Any LHD Cosworth parts - Can be purchased through www.OPMD.com in New Jersey. They order parts from Ford of Europe and ship it directly to you. Rear calipers & pads - are merely Merkur Scorpio items. Order them from anywhere (so long as your Cossie is RWD).. ABS unit & wheel sensors - are again, simply Merkur Scorpio parts easily ordered from anywhere including Rapido. Thanks to Wes for this info below: Cometic Gaskets Brandon tel. 440-354-0777 (Ohio) Exh. manifold gasket - EX3508064AM (need to order 4) Intake manifold gasket - IR231060AFM Throttle body gasket - CB084060AFM Plenum gasket - EC638060AFM Valve cover gasket - VC051060AFM Water pump gasket - WP129060AFM For spark plugs (NGK PFR7B stock #4853) can be ordered from Advance Auto - these were also stock also on some early 90s Audis). Bosch 803 (green-top) injectors typically used for stage 2/3 upgrades are the stock ones from a Porsche 944 Turbo (951). Note: Most parts for the interior, exterior and even some mechanical are interchangable with the Merkur XR4Ti if you own a 3dr Cosworth model. If you're in a bind, anything from a Merkur can be used (say a whole Merkur rear axle assembly). Even buying a parts Merkur XR4Ti wouldn't be a bad idea. |
