British Parts

How many places in T&T still have genuine British part brands like Q&H or Lockheed for cars like Cortinas and Escorts?

I ask because I recently bought a supposedly new pair of Cortina steering ends of some brand i've never heard of before because the guy I buy from said that was all he had.

The ends are not even 2 years old yet and the rubber dust covers are dry rotting and tearing. I usually try to get the Q&H but those seem hard to come by these days.

When I had my Cortina I used to buy parts exclusively at Automotive Supplies... they carry the euro brands like Lockheed, Bosch, Lucas etc... if I couldn't get the part there, I used to buy it on Ebay UK and ship it in... was a bit of a hassle and expensive sometimes, but I rather spend good money once instead of bad money 2 and 3 times in the same period

I've gone with ebay a few times too but I will check Automotive Supplies like you say. Thanks!
