The pick-a-part in Kilsyth has a Ef with the stock headunit still in it, but Kilsyth is the other side of town from you
Only way you could do it is get a set posted to you, but im sure there is a member who has some stock brackets from there old headunit that they can give you..... |

is the security screw the star one with the bit in the middle? i just used a small flat screwdriver on one side of the centre bit, and turned carefully but very firmly. it worked for me, worth a try i guess?

Have you priced up some new ones from Ford spares? Can't see them being that dear.
As fairlane_ghia said, get a security torx bit set too, they come in handy, there are torx fasteners all over EF/ELs.
