Scalextric spares - older models
Discussion
Evening,
Struggling to find (possibly not looking hard enough!) to find a few select older Scalextric car bits and bobs needed to bring life into a collection of cars from the late 90's and despite several scouring sessions on eBay, I'm drawing blanks.
I need:
An original five spoke chrome wheel for a late 90's Team Dynamics BMW 318 BTCC car
The small, disc inserts to go in the wheels of the similar eta Escort Cosworths
The front light plastic unit for a similar era Mondeo BTCC car
The driver / cockpit plastics and windows for a similar era RS500
They're all cars I've had for years and year that I'm trying to bring back to life but parts such as the above seem impossible to get and as far as wheels go, most listings don't seem to list any dimensions so trying to get a replacement (non original set) seems a challenge too. I ordered tyres for the Mondeo on the basis they were the original size and they're not, they are much lower profile / thinner so hence I have my doubts about some listings!
I'm guessing it'll be a case of keeping looking and hoping, unless anybody knows of a source for random parts?
Thanks in advance

Manged to source "Set 25" on eBay which are the 5 spoke BMW esque alloys, tyres and axles so that's one job off the list.
Found a listing for the Cosworth wheel trims via "Scalextric Car Restorations" but they're sold out however Pendle Slot Car have some a few bits and pieces that handy... and the rest, I'll just have to bide my time and scour the classifieds and eBay.
