Hi I'm hoping someone will be able to advise on a issue I have with replacing the front struts on a Micra K11 2001 facelift. I purchased new struts and springs a while back but when I went to replace the old ones, I noticed a problem with the new ones, in that they didn't have the two brackets for the ABS wire. They do have a bracket in basically the same place only they have a captive nut on each unlike the originals which have a slotted bracket into which the abs wire together with its rubber grommet fits. I checked on line and I can't see any other versions of this strut that are any different for the ones I purchased. Now you could say, just use a tie wrap through the captive nut and around the abs wire, but that's not the most elegant solution. I have tried to find a bracket to do this as I can't be the only person to have had this problem but I don't see anything, not a mention. So at the moment I think the only way to do this neatly is to fabricate my own bracket with a slot for the wire and bolt this on to the bracket on the new strut. But maybe I'm wrong and these brackets are available? I'm hoping someone in the club can advise on this issue. I have take some photos of the old and new struts to illustrate what I'm talking about.
