Hi
I am about to take off each of the 4 wheel liners, clean them and check underneath.
I am sure I will need to replace the clips/screws that hold them in place.
Can anyone kindly tell me the parts codes and number needed together before I start the task.
Thanks and kind regards Ian
 
HI Ian - Screws are 1388632, plastic fittings they screw into are 6150260.

The plastic screw is 1007932.

Hope that helps!

James
 
Hi James,
Tp draw assistance as always.
Could you expand a little and tell me how many I need of each.
Thanks Ian
 
James & Ian iirc the torque bit screws go into white plastic retaining clips . But the small black pozidrive screw goes into a different size hole/clip as its smaller than the Torx bits.

They usually all come apart ok, because the metal screws are going into plastic instead of rusting into steel. The only screw & corresponding clip combination is likely to be for the small plastic screw at the back of the tyre on the foot well's lower base.

I don't think you have provided the part number for the clip the plastic screw goes into yet James, any ideas?
 
IIRC, both the screw and clip come together.

The plastic clip is the 1007932 number. On eBay as:

The white retaining clips (which new have a green tinge) are:

And lastly, the screws....

I’m afraid my geeky parts knowledge stops at numbers needed I’m afraid!
 
Oh, and whilst you’re there, these are the clips for the ABS sensors:

And if you’re doing them, you need some shiny brake pipes :wink:

These are the clips for them too

You'll probably find the plastic clips rotate with the plastic screws, if so, get a pair of pointed pliers behind the carpet, to grip the clip.
 
Hi
Thanks for the parts number, URL's and guidance.

I removed the near side liner and cleaned away 16 years of dust, dirt and other carcinogens.
The screws and clips to hold it on where as in the picture below. Any ideas on the part number for the screw on washers?

Two screw/washers combinations, which screw into the nylon inserts in the inner wing, and two screw on washers that twist onto studs welded onto the inner wing needed for each rear wheel arch.
Also noted rust in areas where the fuel filler pipes and wheel liner acting as a mud trap by holding wet mud against the inner wing chassis rail. The mud sits on top of the fuel pipes, wedged up against the inside of the wheel liner.
This is all hidden by the wheel liner nice :cry: :lol: Time for some repairs I think. :-(
The inside of the wheel arch lip was fine. :grin:
It appears that the wheel liner was fitted before the brake system was bolted together at the factory as I had to make a small cut to allow the liner past the solid and flexible brake line joint, which is thoroughly rusted together.
I do need the shiny new brake line please James :wink:
The amount of paint applied rust protection was definitely driven by the bean counters and not the engineers. :roll: It's rubbish.
There has also been a repair/cover up on the lower edge of the sill/wing. As you can see a bit of mental has fallen away and there is further evidence of filler/overspray.
Anyway pictures attached for reference.

Hi Ian,

The flat washer is as follows:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F272721151596

Good job on the cleaning up, it’s a job I do need to do one day too. I’m just too scared to see what’s lurking!!!
 
Hi James,
I just need to sneak the liner in to the washing machine whilst the wife is out :grin: :lol:
Since pipes and tubes can act as excellent mud traps I would do it sooner rather than latter
Kind regards Ian
 
I’ve heard that treating the liners with something like a Thompson’s Water Seal once they are clean works wonders
 
Hi,
One more part number needed. do you know the part cods for the nylon inserts fitted into the rear inner wing, two per side.
Thanks Ian
 
The round whitey / greeny coloured ones? Bit smallerer than a 5p?

They are in the links above, 6150260. They also do the front liners too
 
Hi
All the parts have arrived and I think i needed 14 screws, 14 nylon inner wing inserts and 4 twist on flat washers to complete the job.
Put the wheel liner in the washing machine hot wash and it came up well although it now has what looks like silver over spray on it . :roll:

Any recommendations on rust testaments I can use before I spray some silver paint to tidy it up until i get around to restoring it properly.

Any of you knowledgeable guys know the finis codes for the front and rear wheel liners and if they are still available new.
Kind regards Ian
 
Sounds like good progress Ian!

Front RH liner is 1052509
Front LH liner is 1052510
Rear RH liner is 1054135
Rear LH liner is 1054136

Let us know if they are available!!!
 
Hi James,
Checked the four part codes with Forays, fordpartsuk, and NLA.
Is there anywhere else I could try?
Kind regards Ian

Hi Ian, Happy New Year!

You’ve tried all the places I have. After that it’s resorting to eBay. There is one liner in Italy but st €70 for one it’s quite steep!
 
Hi James,
Happy New Year to you too.

Oh the joy of hunting for NLA parts begins.
I do not know what the last Ford price for new items was so €70 may be ok.

Anyway once they go obsolete people will charge what they think they can get away with. You will never know when you will need the part as fitting new wheel liners will be a 'life time purchase' for the car, i.e. you wont need to buy them again.
This is added to the price as people will know crack onto the rarity of some parts.

I am sure you have seen this in FRP parts prices. Find another is the retort from the vendor/seller!

Kind regards Ian
