Formula Ford Spares

[Jamesd]

Hi

I am doing a college project about buying a race lorry for our college formula ford team, we aldo need to get spares.

What sort of spares would we need to carry also how much do they cost. I have had a look on the internet but could not find anything.

Hi James, there are lots of variables in your questions and answers, like, what sort of car are you running, the word team would suggest perhaps more than one car. It is likely to be an older car. Some cars like Van Diemen, will be easy to get spares for, others will not and you may have difficulty there.
The first thing I would have is a spare couple of wheels, after that it can run from a spare throttle cable to brake pads, spare HT stuff is also useful, points, plugs, leads, all that sort of thing and dont forget petrol - it does happen!
After that you will be thinking about repairs following accident damage. You tend to pick spare parts up as you go. You bend a wishbone and buy a new one but straighten the old one as a spare. That sort of thing.
Keep an eye on ebay for Formula Ford stuff, and check the various FF1600 websites, they usually have a For Sale section.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I am in the libary playing on games but should be doing my work.

Currently we run one offical car which is a spectrum, but we have a couple of cars which are run and raced by some students.

Would you recommentd have complete corners built up.
