Default Front Shock ABS Wire Clips - Solution Found !!

I am after a couple of the black clips that attach to the metal bracket that goes round the front shock.

Ford reckon they dont stock them anymore.

I have found a solution for the ABS Wire Bracket/Clips !



The old ones have the plastic clip,the new ones do not.

However they do the same job, are still available and hold the abs wire perfectly.

I was lucky i found the old plastic clip attached to the cable
i did not notice it has slipped down to the calliper .

Still glad i found a replacement now if i need them .
