Default Fuel pump cradle

Hi,

Stripped the underside of my escort yesterday, resto going on but when I took the cradle off it disintergrated. Slight rust issue Any ideas where I'll get one? Is it a main dealer only part?

Cheers
Dan

Yup that is what I did

I did however need to get a new chassis mount, spare wheel well plug and three rubber mounts as mine were a little battered by the time I had finished with them

You MAY still be able to get these parts from Ford. I know the lot WAS obtainable and was Ł150 - Ł200 odd. I don't think you will be able to get everything now though.

hmm,

The lot went into the skip!! I had to cut the rubber grommets before grinding the bolt that holds it in place. Stupid place to get to a rusty nut.
Looks like its a stainless jobbie or a scrapyard hunt. Don't suppose the stainless one will come with the rubbers too.

Cheers for the info

No the rubbers are a Ford part. You may still be able to get them I have the finis code at home if it helps.
