depends on how much cash you want 2 spend really if i had 2 renew the brake and fuel pipes i would go 4 goodridge braided but it aint cheap, as 4 the fuel filter brkt i would be gen ford and bearings from any component seller. it woud probaly be cheaper 4 braided brake hoses as there are 6 flexi 1s and there bout 15 quid each and 4 at the rear 2 at the front a braided kit is about 60 quid.

i replaced all of them when i rebuilt my car, the two fuel lines are a headache to get hold of from ford, i had to get mine from germany.

I would put genuine ford wheel bearings in as motorfactors will sell inferior quality ones and they will be a lot cheaper but false economy IMO.

I got all my flexis made up from hose direct in doncaster, very good quality and quite cheap too, their number is 01302 746969.

Do not throw away the fuel pipes that go to the filter as you cant get them from ford anymore, you can have them made up with the banjo connectors but they wont be cheap.

You can still get the filter bracket, its about £6 i think......

hope this helps mate

Ford/Opel/Mercedes/Subaru or whatever usually use bearings from few major manufacturers like SKF - I usually see SKF bearings used for most performance cars.

if youve only ordered them and not recieved, you'll probably find that when you go and pick it all up, some of the stuff will be missing due to being discontinued (thinking fuel pipes)
