Hello i am going to fit the frontbumper to my escort cosworth. It have been crashed and i have only 1 of those mounting plates, the black ones that fit on the chassis on each wing. They have 3 pop nails towards the wheel arch witch fit towards the inner wings i think. Not a good explenation, i know. They are fitted behind the bumper on each wing side

Is there anyone who knows if these are needed to fit the front bumper, i mean they dont have a part number at ford, so if i need them i need to buy a new frontbumper?

hope someone can help

 

afraid they only come with the bumper,not available separately,best bet is seeing if you can buy a cheap damaged bumper and then drill the rivets out and remove the locating part,you need it really as the twist in lug fits in the hole to hold it in place

 

I know the sierra cosworth shares a few bumper parts how simular are they to these

nothing like im afraid,paul

 

ok thanks for help guys i might have to buy a new frontbumper then, really strange that it isnt listed as a seperate part tho, if anyone has one please give me a tell

 

Just stumbled on this pic on microcat does it show the part you are looking for? (17 or 18)

 

it might look like number 17, its the black plastic plate that mounts with 4 pop nails on the bumper inside on the wheel arch. But picture is kind of unclear, it might look like on the picture its the little plate that is wielded on the chassis on each side, which this plastic plate is then mounted into again.

Is the part number 7079854? picture is kind of unclear to me.
thanks alot tho, might just saved me alot of money from buying a new bumper

 

save the pic and it will be full size on your computer or look here:-

You could be lucky but I think that the red circled part in this pic is no.17 and blue circled part no.18 in this pic

 

ah yes i got big picture now and i see it too its like Paul says.
was getting my hopes up for a second there though

 

like i said theyre not available on thier own,been down that road myself

 

To be fair thou theres been loads of bits 'unavailible' that I've found new so theres no harm in double checking

 

i know what you mean but this is usually down to the parts bloke at fords that knows bugger all,lol,or cant be arsed to look thats why i always look on the cat ,get my own part numbers and take them in,that way you get the right parts as well

 

Deffo the way to do it.. bloody Ford parts people! They never check the rapid system either
It was the same with the series 1 bits there is so much myth about parts and whats availible
