Shawn, that is a great place to get hardware and little things like bolts and nuts for our ponies. Thanks for posting it. This will definitely go in the FAQ.
The headlight bucket bolts are item # F-116.

These are on the rear frame rails by the gas tank right? I always wondered why the hell they were there.

Yep. Those were used to tie the rear down to the truck that was hauling them to the dealers. The dealer was supposed to take those off at the dealership, but some dealers didn't.

My Mach still has them. They aren't hurting anything and may come in handy. I think I'm gonna leave them be.
