Are any of these still available? I don't mind signing up on FSi to post on theirs but I'd love a set of 4 (2 with spacers 2 without).

Many thanks,
Si

Last time I spoke to dave, he only had 3 left (1 with spacer and 2 without) which I brought of him. I'm in the process of getting them copied by a fabrication company local, unless dave can get some more made. If I can get a load made, I'll let you know.

[Simon84uk]

Awesome, well mine are fine for now so no rush, just wanted a good excuse to get the beam off again to powder coat it.

If you can PM me or reply here as soon as you have any news would be great


Thanks,
Simon

if no one else is making them anymore, and there is enough demand for them, i can start making some, but i would need to price up metal to see what the cost would be, and if it would be worth doing

[Dave G fsi]

No more left now guys im afraid

Jay - Its probably not worth it atm, when my mate got a load made up, it took him ages to sell them on, even listing them as a "buy it now" on ebay

[jayrs]

thats what i thought, although when they become NLA at fords, im sure the demand for them will go up, well maybe

[Dave G fsi]

They already are NLA at ford

The mk5/6 escort ones are still available from ford, and they are identical to the ones on the mk3 without the spacers, but the two at the back with the spacers that go onto the shocker bolt are NLA

[jayrs]

ah right, i know the ones with the spacers were a bit iffy to get hold of a while back but didnt know they were NLA.

if the escort ones are the same, they should have the same part number??

i think if i were to make any i would have to make a jig for ease of making them, might even just make a jig for my self if they are NLA as i only got 1 full set of new spare brackets

ah well, will see how it goes

[Dave G fsi]

I have two full sets of genuine ones, cleared out my local dealers when I found out they were NLA

Another way of doing it is to get four escort ones from ford, then drill out the hole on two of them so the shocker bolt fits through, and use washers to replicate the spacer

[jayrs]

yeah true, but the ones with the spacers are a little different from what i remember, will have to check the ones in the shed and see.

[Dave G fsi]

Dont think I have any pics, but have held them next to each other before now and they are identical other than the diameter of the hole, and the spacer being welded on

[jayrs]

ah well, easier to make then

recently replaced one of mine, ordered it from tom peters

as the spacered one has snapped, the piece f the bracket that the bolt goes through was still bolted there, so i used that as the spacer on the new one

but they obviously had to be drilled out

[Simon84uk]

Ah I see, well if anyone makes any more then I'll definitely take a set of stainless ones. Just drop me a PM if/when you do


Si.

I have done that in the past. The square spacer can be tapped off with a hammer.

I think the non spacer ones are still available, aren't they?

Sorry 't I haven't yet. - I bought four some last November so just assumed still available.

[jordan2litre]

so i take it these arent avaliable anymore , sorry at work and dont have time to read the thread, need the rear ones on the bar also want to polybush the bar so might just try and buy all new ones

[Dave G fsi]

Read the thread when you have a minute mate, there is a way round it by buying genuine escort mk5/6 items (still available) then drilling out two of them and spacing them out with washers

[jordan2litre]

ok nice one mate cheers , ill have a quick look tonight

[jordan2litre]

Can all of you dimonds have a look at this and help with your wisdom. cheers...

[Mav Singh]

hi, can i get a set of these for my car? one has snapped again....

[Mav Singh]

currently in the process of making these clamps myself. looks like im the only one daily driving a mk3 fiesta these days.
just got the hole left to drill in the clamp. used 3mm 304L stainless steel 25mm wide with length of 200mm. thats enough to make 1 clamp and its washer.

[BOBFRST]

They look like they'll do the job nicely Mav
I could do with a set of your making them to order
