Hi, Please suggest where and how to buy genuine parts for my 1993 Escort RS Cosworth?

I live in Taiwan, and it's very hard to get the parts.

Thanks for reply so quickly! Amazing.

I know GGR. So GGR is not only a tune shop(I thought) but also a genuine parts distributor? Is GGR's price as good as dealer's parts service? or even better?

And since I do not have a parts catalog, just wondering how do you order a parts usually? Looking up in the catalog and get the part number? or??

You just fill in the parts request form and they get back to you. I've used them loads of times in the past.

Try Paul Linfoot at North Yorkshire RS Spares (www.cosworthrspares.co.uk). He'll have what you're looking for and is a nice bloke to deal with.

Thank you all for the useful information. Let me be more specific my situation.

Since the Ford here in Taiwan does not provide any parts of Escort Cosworth, it's really hard to get geniune parts here. Especially I plan to have a fully paint job and engine rebuild for my Escort, so the items like windshield, rubber strips, pistons & rings, engine wiring looms...etc would be necessary.

So, would it be better to buy from a mainly geniune parts dealer rather than a tuning shop?(I guess so.) What is your solution if you guys need kind of parts I mentioned above?
