Default Escort S1 - Towing eye cover, Parcel Shelf, Dashboard Q's

Where can you get replacement towing eye covers from, I sure there's someone who does decent replicas?

Is the S1 parcel shelf the same as a normal Mk3 parcel shelf? Pictures please.

If the dashboard is cracked, quite badly above and around the instrument cluster, what is the best action to take?

Thanks in advance.

auto specialsists do a replica towing eye cover, 35 quid i think,
not sure about the parcel shelf but i have seen a few dashboards on
ebay before today or alternatively ring up some breakers yards, i
were lucky enough to buy a series 1 with no dash cracks

the shelfs are different colours, standard shelfs are light gray, and S1 shelfs are dark gray, same as XR3i.

the dash is easy to change, 2 hour job
