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

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, 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.

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..

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...
