There used to be a Ford/NH dealer in Harleston, Norfolk (on the Suffolk border) called E. H. Knight & Son, that whenever you asked them for something would say “We can get it for you!”Thankfully though.....a significant number of parts or at least "mechanisms" seem to be similar throughout both across the "current" ranges (CX/CR) and their historic equivalents.
I took a look at the latest rotaries recently and was surprised how little (other than the obvious rotors etc!) to our CX8060 which is several models back, and the CX820 we had before that which would have been 20 years old now. The parts department would stock a significant number of parts that would be completely common across all of those machines, and thus still current. Well.....they (and even NH!) stocked everything apart from the part that I needed!!!
It got so bad that they started to say it before, you’d even asked them for the part you wanted!
