Just go to Ace Hardware and pick up some Grade 5 hardware. The bolts aren't magic, just bolts.

Do not use grade 8. They are absolutly the strongest in tension, but not so good in shear. Where a grade 5 will distort, a grade 8 will shatter.

According to carrol smith, "There is no place on a race car for a grade 8 fastner." Not sure i agree with that in every instance. But there it is.

yea but if you go to the dealer to get those nuts and bolts it will be more than msrp trust me
ur right, i just did the math. i may even return the brackets if the total + plus shipping is still cheaper from fordparts.com
Yea just for the bolts and nuts that rowdy posted I paid $75 for 6 bolts and 6 nuts how crazy is that. When I got the hardware for my stepdad's sway bars I got them off of tituswillfordparts.com for $45ish shipped to my house

i'm gonna go with bob's suggestion and hit up the hardware store. another ford part dept rep told me that they would have to special order the bolts and that i should just consider getting the bolts from a hardware store also. lets see what i can find.
