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!

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

But 10% is still worry that I have some missing too

Hahah I love mine too despite its problems. 1
