you should be able to get one at any fastener shop or a parts store. Just make sure it's the correct grade so it's tough enough for the job.

If your like me ,I have in a 10 mile radius , 6 Ford dealerships so i would get one from them! Never no where that metal's coming from. if you get my drift

DRASTiK · 09-02-2002, 09:09 PM

Holy crap man!!! 6 of them within 10 miles? You're a lucky man.

Ok thanx, i have a dealership 5 minutes away, i'll check with them.

A side from that, i pulled my h-pipe and shifter,
my clutch fork feels disconected from the pivot on the pp? i guess i'll find out when it comes apart.
king cobra clutch on it's way, this dang bolt held me up all day, now gotta drive the company turd to work if you know what i mean, miss driving the stang.

Definitely get the bolts from your local Ford dealer. That's what I did when I installed my Ford Aluminum DS. I think they were like $8-$12 - can't remember exactly as it's been a while.

Make sure you use the proper 12-pt socket so as not to strip it again - not that you didn't already know this.

My local ford dealer sucks. When I was putting my king cobra in, I broke a driveshaft bolt too. The ford dealer was the first place I went looking for a new one. The guy told me that they don't carry anything like that. That was also what they said when I was looking for valve stem seals. They didn't carry valve stem seals either.
