Abstract:
An anti-lock brake sensor bracket for mounting an anti-lock brake sensor to a vehicle component bracket of a vehicle, the vehicle component bracket having a radial mounting area with a radial engagement areas, the engagement areas contain mounting holes, the radial mounting area having outer edge slots between the engagement areas, the vehicle having at two axles with each axle having at least two wheels engaged to each axle, the axles being rotatably engaged to the vehicle, and the vehicle component brackets each being in close proximity to the wheels to allow sensing of wheel rotation by the anti-lock brake sensors, comprising:an anti-lock brake sensor receiver engaged to two mounting wing plates;said sensor receiver containing a slot for receiving an anti-lock brake sensor;said wing plates in combination with said sensor receiver shaped to correspond with an arc defined by the radial mounting area of the vehicle component bracket;said sensor receiver asymmetrically engaged between said wing plates axially relative to and when mounted to the vehicle component bracket and when viewed from a side, a shorter end of said sensor receiver juts out a shorter distance from said wing plates than an opposite longer end of said sensor receiver; anda first end of the sensor receiver has a shape that will not fit within the outer edge slot of the vehicle component bracket such that holes in each of said wing plates will not align with the mounting holes of the engagement areas of the vehicle component bracket to allow engagement.
