I have replaced kingpin bearings and seals to both sides recently and in doing so destroyed the plastic collars for both sensors, i have had no problems by just fitting the sensors centrally.
But if anybody has a link or a cobble together of the collars i would be grateful.

I drill through and use a nut and bolt. No issue next time round

Just to add a note in case it helps anyone out. My apprentice replaced the kingpins on the other side over the weekend, and sheared the other ABS bolt exactly as I had showed her how to!!
But, if you can get the old one out and clean the M6 threads, and you are replacing the swivel seal bolts as I was, then the old oil seal bolts are a perfect fit and length! That gave me plenty of spares to use
Both plastic collars broke where they are very narrow (why are they quite so fragile!!), but managed to re-use them. +1 for stocking them as spares.

Bit of a bonus on my 2016 Jimny. I've been undoing ALL the nuts and bolts underneath and cleaning/copper greasing the lot as a precaution. The ABS bolts were dealt with but I found that instead of a plastic sleeve on the sensor unit itself as on my 2006, this one has 4 fins or ribs which make contact with the orifice and don't grip or seize.
