    Looks like it might be from a Focus RS mk1. Shape looks the same, not sure about sizes.

    Edit: The bolt, nut & offset washer I meant, not bushes.

    I would say that looks very similar if not the same... Anyone know a friendly Ford parts person...?

    Popped into my local Ford dealer and getting one ordered in for tomorrow. Can't really compare as my 260 is still 30 miles away up on ramps. Will take some measurements though.

    My old ones (two survived, two had to be cut through) are 4 1/4 inches overall length, 7/16 bolt diameter and 1 1/4 inch diameter for the eccentric washer. I thought the measurements might have been metric in this day and age, but the millimetres don't line up so imperial seems to work best (US-based I guess).

    This is definitely not her car...

    Dropped the bolts off at the garage. They appear to be the same ones, the markings on the bolt head are the same too. They were working on my 260 when I got there. He was having trouble with some of the seized parts including the hand break cable.

    For info the Ford part numbers are:
    FMU 1456980 = bolt
    FMU 1456979 = cam washer

    4 of each cost me little over £50. You can probably find them cheaper elsewhere but I got them from the Ford dealer direct.
