Do it right before someone looks at it cause it causes more dust to get stuck on the bloody things :-p

I called around a few ford dealers to find them. Haven't ever seen them anywhere else, so that was really my only choice. Sadly, they'll cost you about $20 a bolt (I needed to replace all 3!)

Once upon a time someone posted an ebay link to those. Mine are all gone and have been for ages...

found one on ebay here which is the same price including postage...can't find any more listings.

I need to buy more pulleys and swap out my serpentine belt as well dude, I'm secretly very keen on DIY day but have left it up to the others to arrange details.

well being my car is still off the road for 3.5 months till I get my licence back, I pulled it apart ready for my big stereo install.

ive been meaning to get around to it for years, and have collected a bit of stuff over the time, but have not gotten around to it due to other commitments.

so today, pulled off door trims and removed previously installed components, boot is now devoid of my interim sub box and other stuff, and now completely empty and cleaned ready for sound dampening, rear parcel shelf- same.

the plan is for a quality build this time. I have done a half arsed one in this car already a few years ago, just to upgrade the factory stuff.

I have been running a 15" sub, so had plenty of boom boom, but now am after a sq system. will be plenty of custom fibreglass bits, and some tricky stuff ive been eyeing off on a us audio forum.

im starting a new thread in audio section, if anyone wants to follow the build.
