Leigh I started looking into these a few months ago when there was a similar post. Seems the old ford ones are no longer made but I think I found a Merc Sprinter might be a near match. You need to take the other one down your factors and do some comparisons. You may have to fettle the clamp lug a bit to make it fit. Please let us all know if you find a match.

You need to look at the sexy Lotus Elise / VX220 alloy brackets

Leigh, I fitted two new ones at the weekend. I got them off eB including poly bushes. Mine's got a 25mm roll bar and they fit perfectly and with the silicon grease they are sweat and silent. Highly recommended. Link below.

I've got the two old ones off mine here but they are not a matching set and I do not believe they are correct for the bushes as I could never get them right. Forum topic below includes a picture of the old brackets. If you think one of them matches yours then you're welcome to it.

Kieth - I just saw your post on that old topic - red sealant would have done!

Yeah the "two bolt" ARB brackets can be used - you have to drill out the other hole of course. But they should last much longer than the original Ford ones because they are secured in two places - the Ford ones tend to disintegrate around the small tab.

The new brackets fitted without any drilling or mods as holes all lined up fine. Leigh if you want either of the old brackets then let me know.

Ahh yeah that's because in your case someone had already drilled out for the modified ones you took off, if you are still on original Ford then one side is a hole, and the other side is a slot.

Adam, on mine top is a circular hole and bottom is square slot but bolts fit through okay. Was the original just a narrow slot? If so then one of my old brackets is okay for this fitment.
