This cap from the steering rack of my saph cossie 4x4 has seen the best part of its life:



Now the Finis code for it is 1591486 and it is no longer available by Ford. (printed italian style means no longer available)

It's this part I am looking for, item number 13 (top) in the pic below:



Does anyone know a replacement for this item which I can use?

Thanks!

 

Have you tried Ford Wim, sometimes it's NLA but on the shell at a other dealer

 

Yep, but no luck..

 

Printed italic actually means it's been superceeded by a new part number - not that it'd discontinued.

 

I would say this is a pretty standard cover and maybe found on other Sierra/granada racks

 

Wim, I have a spare rack here mate I don't use, will look for you

 

Could be worth cross referring the Ford part no. and the finis on OSI? Nothing to loose....

 

I have been visiting Ford and they have looked in their system all through Europe. Unfortannelly no solutions.

I dont know what OSI means.

Thanks Marco if you would have a look at your spare one!

 

Sorry, OSI is Fords cross reference for superceded finis codes, if a certain part is not available, the partsman can check to see if its changed number.... In this case, it looks like they've checked, but no luck....
