Pete Cooper has started on this, right here in fact.. it hasn't quite got to the MOT items yet, so far Pete has put three items on, I've put a couple on and that's it....some will no doubt be to make as they would be unique to the Maestro/Montego..I agree that this is a good idea...but if there are only two people battling with thousands of part numbers and millions of possible alternatives, it may take a while. I guess jacking point is your main area of interest? If I had to guess, I'd say that the actual jacking point will be the same as Metro and umpteen other AR cars, but comes with bracketry that will be to cut off and refabricate, so probably cheaper to make from scratch.

best of luck with that. I've had parts fabricated, sourced rare parts , bought bulk stock , given info in the past as did Sean and Mal. No one wanted to pay top money and even now some moan about the prices of parts . I for one won't be doing this again , if it's just jacking points you need, it's best to get fabricated and while you're there get a bulk set done to sell on , but be aware you won't make very much and you'll get moaned at trying to cover your costs and make enough to make it worthwhile. If you do get a bulk supply , make sure you post recorded delivery as a few somehow don't get delivered so you actually lose money helping others.Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 15th December 2018, 22:10.1958 Ford Consul Convertible.

Damen and Kroes have 4 top suspension cups in stock, you can still get then as ive already said Part Number FAM9456 But from them they wont be cheap, bearings are NLA but if you take yours to a company that sells bearings they could possibly match them. That's what I would do as the main cups normally only need cleaning and re-greasing.
Jacking points. Front BEP2059 is the same for both sides Damens have one in stock, rears are different RH BEP942 LH BEP943 all NLA that's the same for estate and saloon, so get fabricating. All a fabricator would need is you to show them your car and for them to measure and take pictures of it/them. Quite easy really and normally no fussLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 18th December 2018, 13:00.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car
