Where can I get a Ford Ka 2010 rear brake drum ABS sensor?
We have been looking everywhere including on Ford website and can't seem to find the ABS speed sensor ring that goes on the rear brake drum hub. The brake drum has 4 threaded bolt holes for wheel bolts and two dowels to locate the alloy wheel. It is 180mm internal diameter and marked as Fiat internally. it has integral bearings with an abs sensor ring on the end.
The Ford website has two ABS sensor rings but neither of these are correct as it looks like the magnetic surface is on the face and not the side. The ABS sensor is not flush with the back plate but it protruded in about 10-15mm to detect the magnet poles on the side of the ABS ring. Any ideas where we can get new ABS ring and how many poles it is likely to have, failing that new complete drum/bearings/ABS ring?

This generation of Ford Ka was based on the Fiat 500, so you may have more luck trying a Fiat dealer or parts specialist, as the 500 has been in production for many years which should make finding the correct part straightforward.

Easy to drive and economical. Handles better than Fiat 500. More room in rear than the Fiat.
