Stainless steel would not be a good choice for the P clamps. The existing mild steel ones seem to fail from metal fatigue and stainless steel work hardens and becomes brittle a lot more than mild steel does.
Are the same clamps not used on the Mk4/5 Fiesta and the KA ? They may have revised the part number if there was a problem with them breaking, but the suspension on those cars is the same setup, the KA especially, it’s basically a Mk3 Fiesta underneath. I will try to remember to have a look later on Microcat.

They're apparently NLA (No Longer Available) through Ford since 2011. I did find some on Ebay at c.£10 ea, compared with originals at under £3 (2010) and some purpose made in stainless by a Fiesta club at £4.50. It made me wonder if anyone in the club has the facilities and inteest to make available some of the NLA parts for all of our cars that are "just engineering" - and regular problems (lots of hits of the P clamps failing). It's the kind of thing done in other clubs I'm a member of, and may already exist in some way - but if so would be useful to see in the club mag Cheers StevieCee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
