got one from fords about five months ago they take a while to arrive. i think they are a special order job now. try another ford dealer see if you have any joy, i did try and order some more but ford lost the order so i dont have one you could have at cost. There only about £4 if you can get them

Was in ford part today, seals have to be special ordered from germany, and are £2.80. Also got a new gearknob for £5+vat, sure these are selling on ebay for daft money as well.
