They showed me the ones Ordered through ford , $16 each and $15 for postage so yeah not too far off the mark Ralph!! Rather pay that than have the rear end of my car hanging on with 2 fixings... Seems questionable I'm glad nothing's happened yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolts and nuts that just go missing straight up. Wonder how many are getting around the roads like that. At least you caught them dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
