Ford bits

[Andy B]

My Dad's 84 2.3 Granada went through its MOT today, passed with an advisory on a track rod end. Local 'trusted' back street garage in his attempt to change it managed to snap the end of the inner tie rod off.  HTF he managed that ...... no idea. The problem now seems to be getting hold of one for a MKII. Loads available for 85 onward MKIII's, there's even a pair of MKI available in the States, but none for his MKII 
Any suggestions  of a supplier would be most appreciated!

There must be a Club, perhaps they could help out....    its not that old really, I would have thought parts would be quite readily available......

There is a Granada estate in G+E brekers in Haydock, pretty stripped but it may yield some parts Andy

I almost did that on the elite and snapped a few tools in the process
