Title: A wee Bitty Information
Post by PJDavis on Oct 14^th, 2011, 10:14pm

I'm on ebay quite a lot, and noticed that a national clearance centre for Ford items were repeatedly trying to sell front wishbones for the Scorpio. Aye, genuine Ford items. I informed the seller that they might find it particularly difficult to sell the items now that it had been discovered these items can be purchased from another European country for half the price! Course I failed to mention this was a QH item, but why should I? Anyways I got a reply back saying they would now probably need to revise their price in the face of this information, and would let me know! We'll see!

This is the same seller that had 90 odd Cosworth thermostats for sale.

When I needed one a few years ago, I had to wait months while enough people were totalled that needed one and they could make another batch of 20 apparently..... so where did the 90 odd come from, they weren't a stock item and were almost made to order!!! >:(

it's odd, but not all dealer subscribe to the OSI system, so a search via them ma y not throw up actual stock.
