Default 3dr Resto help with parts

Hi i have bought and in the process of restoring a 1986 3 dr cosworth which is completely unmodified.
I am trying to keep it that way but prices for original parts are mental and thats if you can source them.
Anyway both my inner plastic back arches seem to have gone so brittle they have crumbled on touch
Also power steering pipes look like there about ready to join the arches.
Just wondered if anyone could recomend anyone/where to try get replacements.
Any help would be appreciated

Do a search on here for Paul at North Yorkshire RS spares, he would probably have a couple of bits you'd need!
