On right side of my car, I have lost a motor mount bolt and one is broken. Dealership said the truck was too old and the parts are not carried any more. Would you know where I can get one and if not how can I get the specs to have one made or to buy one that fits. I am looking for grade, length and thread size. MLM

If the bolts are grade 8 or comparable like if thye have a 10.9 or 11.4 on top of them should be suffiecient enough. You should be able to but them at hardware store. They are metric. Unfortunately I dont'think Ford gives the size anywhere on that, could be wrong but don't think so. They may be 10 or 12 mm pus length then you need to know thread size which can be 1 1.25 or 1.5 as well as 1.75. The upper engine mount bracket is 81 ft lbs and others are in pic.
