FG Marder Alloy Parts

[Dreadnought]

Hi All,
In a very short time (5 days) I seem to have 1 2/3 Marders (don't ask) and I've taken the decision that I would like to build one with an many alloy parts as possible (this isn't going to be a quick build) and I'd like to start with so alloy diff mounts as these are buried in the heart of the rear end. So the question is, where do I find some, I'd rather use pre-owned as I'm looking to keep costs half sensible if possible or new if they aren't too eye wateringly expensive, any thoughts or pointers where to look?

Thanks

eBay is full of older fg parts? so keep eye on there imo ?...as fg alloy new is v.expensive☹
i stripped most of the alloy off my marder an sold it all?
jus b weary of used alloy as it may have excessive play due to years of wear ect☹.....obv sum bits r more prone to wear then others ?

Ok, once I get going I'll start to put some pictures up. It's based on what I think is an FG 4WD chassis as the diff cut out is bigger and it has 4x large holes under where the radio tray would be

Hi all, more or less what I have to date, the first photo shows the FG I'm going to build up with as much alloy as humanly possible, the second will be one I put together from spare parts and the complete car will be a full strip and clean as it's been stored in a garage for about a decade.

Cheers
