Front Mudflap Clips

[mjt]

On my wife's Mk1.5 one of the front mudflaps has lost both of the spring clips and it's flapping around on the single bolt into the sill. Anyone know if there is anywhere I can get some new clips? The car's too old to justify nearly 40 quid on new flaps. I'd rather just take the existing ones off.

On a similar note, my off-side front flap has lost its Torx 30 screw at the top. Consequently dirt/crud is getting between the flap and the bodywork. What diameter/length screw can I use to replace it? Also, how easy is it to remove the clip? Ideally I'd like to remove the flap, clean it up (and the bodywork) then re-fit.

just use some self tapping screws to fix them - 10mm length is more than enough to hold onto the arch liners.

this is what i did with my universal mudflaps.

That's great, thanks. I bought some size 12 self-tappers from Halfords but they seemed too small, so I've ordered the fixings

No, as I said the wife's Focus is a Mk1.5. The Mk2 flaps and fittings are completely different.

Just a quick update to this thread :- I eventually found these clips on amazon, Ford part number F1019287. When I received them I discovered the long leg of the clips were longer than the originals so the top one stuck out slightly so I just trimmed a bit off and then they worked fine. Not bad for a tenth of the price of a new set of flaps and I've got four spares in case I lose any more.

Interestingly when I ordered them they were being sold for £3.19 with free delivery by Allen Ford on amazon Marketplace but now the same link shows them being sold by amazon themselves and they've gone up to £3.97 and no free delivery. Looks like I timed it just right.

Edit: I just noticed they are still available at £3.19 under 'Other Sellers' and Auto-Accessorize was the trading name used by Allen Ford on my order.
