can u still buy these from fords,or is there a aftermarket one avaliable,the reason is my mate keeps on snapping clutch cables and has been told that its due to not having a heat shield fitted,the heat make the plastic get hot then as it cools down grips the cable its self and in time snaps it,hes gone through 3 in 2 weeks,
any pics or help would be appreciated
thanks

looks good rich did you use the sapp brks to fit it ?
also do they sit higher than the normal saff 4x4 ones
Got an escort one had it for 6 months still not got around to fitting it

yeah, side bracket by the airbox fits anyway, but need to redrill the holes in the back for the rear support.
For belt and braces, you'd ideally make a bracket to pick up on the bottom, or do like on escort and have a spacer tube and fix to the inner wing, but i've only mounted mine at the back and front on the two points and seems fine..
although i miscalculated when i drilled the back holes and got it too close to the downpipe, now it's got a small hole burnt in.. doh
Mine's in pieces at the mo, so i'll try and get some pics of the rear bracket mounting..

if anything it fits a touch closer to the top of the turbo (ie lower) compared to the std 4x4 one,
