I can't believe I managed to buy some new rear ARB 'D' brackets from my local Ford dealer today, the parts bloke nearly laughed me out the place when I asked him but when I told him the part number he checked it out and was shocked to see it still listed, they will be with them on Monday.

Those clips are used on a number of cars.
That's probably why.

:)

Chances are other mk2 specific parts are a "tad" harder to get hold of.

I read they also fit Sierra's and Granada's.

Lucky they didn't add the "Cosworth" tax then!
Lol.

Its a bit hit and miss with dealers, a really helpful girl used to help me out at my local one, it just takes them a little more effort to look beyond the brand new focus that they are used to ordering for and a lot of them just cant be bothered, it's easier to say no. Most serviceable items are still available to order.
