The bolts are not included but can be bought directly from Ford, it is as above essential that they are 10.9 grade.

ALL

If anyone would like to swap a set of spacers for either a set of FRP floor mats or some original Alcantara (enough to do a steering wheel and seat base) then I would be happy to take this as payment.

Dunno if this will help anyone buying a set but I found these fixings. Granted they are setscrews and not bolts (i.e. they have a full thread) but I believe they are the correct size, length and grade going by previous posts. Was just a quick search so may even be cheaper elsewhere, but not a bad price anyway - plus you get the Nylocs as a bonus...lol.

I would have a set of these spacers myself but am unclear if I need a new set of ABS sensors with mine being a standard Puma and whether it helps or worsens the handling.

Anyway - here's the setscrews for an idea of what's out there:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260773101335" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Guys,

Be very wary of buying bolts off ebay, ford have no idea either as they were FRP specific try someone like

http://www.brocol.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in Coventry they are a proper engineering supplier and you can guarantee a 10.9 is a 10.9.

originals with 20mm spacers are M10x50mm 10.9 grade so for the 30mm spacers you should need M10x60 10.9 grade.

i think you will have problems, when i fitted to 20.5mm spacers the abs sensors, just and i mean just fitted

 

[yippeekiay]

Cheers Steve, that was my thought. I don't think I want to go as far as having to buy new sensors as well as I spend enough on the car as it is on non-essential items...lol.

Shame

When I got mine from Ford I'm sure the guy at the parts desk said they were originally used in an Escort or Mondeo engine or something bizzare like that.

 

[ScubaSteve]

Yppie raises a good point that needs mentioning, on a standard puma you will not get the one side ABS sensor to fit, it coems out at angle around the back of the spacer.

As mentioned i only just managed to get it to fit in a 20.5mm spacer and that was incredibly tight and on the verge of snapping the plastic sensor casing if it was any deeper.

Material has arrived today, so still on for having them made up by Sunday / Monday.

Could I ask those who have yet to pay endeavour to do so soon, then once they are all ready made up I can post them off all at the same time, if anyone needs longer to come up with the cash please just PM me.
