What is the way out of this trap?
I needed a new bracket to mount a vacuum valve on my Cmax.
I went to the local dealer who was very helpful, showed me the relevant screen on the parts system and the bracket was there and it looks spot on.
When he orders the part, it is completely different. He orders again, still wrong. Both he and I don't know where to go next.
Clearly the Ford system has an error but how to get the correct part?
There is no part number on the old bracket.
The screen says part number is 9S430A and it is on the page with the vacuum pump shown. Car Reg KX54APF 2.0 TDCI Cmax.
Can anyone help????? Please!
TIA
Bob

That is a way but i really want a new part. The bracket is pressed out of sheet metal and rather than have properly designed radiussed bends, it has knife creases and these are stress points. Both bends have fractured and I suspect any used part I find will be part broken.
My max has done less than 40k miles and the vibration form the diesel engine has destroyed this bracket.
What I wanted to know is where within Ford do dealers turn when they hit this sort of problem with an error in parts numbering.

If you buy a new ford item it'll be the same and die with 40k again.

It's a shit bracket in the first place, stop wasting your time with another rip off price shit bracket that is going to fail the same way, go to any half decent fabricator bung him a few quid and he will soon sort you out a decent one that will NEVER break, that's what I'd do.
