im pretty sure it was only used on mustangs.

DAMNIT

was it the same as the 95 sensors,

a junkyard a few hundred miles away has a sensor from a 95, maybe it'll fit ....

anyideas...

 

[bdcardinal]

its worth a try. what are the taxes for importing parts? you could try a page here in the states like fordparts.com or stangparts.com

 

[stangman]

aren't there any auto parts stores around you that could get it in

 

[EDGE Motorsport]

taxes for me importing one are around 25% plus shipping which is probably around $40 air...

and none of the auto stores round here have even heard of a mustang, you should have seen their faces when i was looking for a rebuilt kit for my 360FE engine in my 75 F250 ....

I'll try those online sites now too..

ford parts have new ones....

around $45 each....just gotta get a UPS shipping quote.

the parts listed as a 94-98 sensor so i guess the ones in the junk yard might fit...

ya, i just dont like using junkyard parts for brakes. especially on a car like a saleen, i woudl want to make sure that the ABS components were new.

 

[EDGE Motorsport]

true , true

the junk yard bits might keep me going till ford parts can deliver...

what about a ford dealer?

 

[EDGE Motorsport]

ford dealers over here in the uk cant get ford USA parts..... sucks huh...

EDGE

 

[bdcardinal]

ya, try going to a ford dealer in the US and asking for an ABS sensor for a Focus RS or an intake manifold for a BOSS 290. they will look at you like you are retarded.

the dude at our parts desk looked at me odd when i told him "its a saleen 281".......

i had to resort to GT... then mustang.. which he finally got, everyone knows a mustang, just not necessarily when they see one..

what the hell you doing trying to find an ABS sensor for a Focus RS....

i was trying to give a similar example of a ford car thats not available in the states.

that's what i figured, but thought you might well know someone who's imported one over there, that'd sure be a rare vehicle over there...

this place is crawling with them..

Can you rent a pre-2005 Mustang over there? Rental Mustangs are loaded with perfectly good spare parts...

i do not believe that sensor is used on any european ford... but with the sensor broken you are better off disconecting it you will have a abs light but you can still drive the car...
