it was the same as that on the last rs500 i looked at lads

Bart

Someone got a genuine one for sale?

SPADGE

Should have gone to 'Spec Savers' Gus
I have never seen a map sensor bracket like that it looks aftermarket!

DOO

this is a gen 3 Door map sensor bracket did not know the RS 500 was any diffrent???

Ryan

yes as discussed last night there are 2 other types of map sensor bracket.

RS500 have a smaller stepped back bracket to clear the throttle body. (info by Pete)

Also very early type 500's has a different backet which mounting the map sensor vertically, this caused issues with water penetration, so were recalled by Fords to be changed for the other type. (Info By Spadge)

SPADGE

Ryan i said very early cossies and as all 500's are E plates i don't know if any of these were affected! A standard map sensor bracket off any cossie will fit a 500 imo as my 1st 3 door which had the 8 inj plenum/500 throttle body etc had one with no problems!!

Bart

Everyone who thinks it's genuine, can you tell me how we have to fit it because it is driving me crazy

SPADGE

Only Gus has said it is genuine and he knows fook all
Get a standard cossie one!

Bart

Spadge, I think that's the way we have to do it.
Thanks all for helping me.

it looks the same as the one on darren barbers unmolested 500 if so the 2 screws go into the inner wing and it had 3 spire clips on it with screw thread on and it where the map sensor mounts

Ryan

well im just going on what pete said, i said a standard 3dr one would do.

Bart

Gus, you are correct about how the sensor was connected to the bracket.
Only problem is there are no holes which match the bracket in the inner wing.
Is Darren Barber a PF member?

Rs Gus

This is a pic of my 518hp bay which ran all genuine 500 bits and this had a standard map sensor bracket which fitted no problem at all!

Bart

Gus, it's no3 and the car we are working on is no4 so this could be interesting!
Just PM Darren, hope he can help me out.
