I’ve been putting this list together for the past 10-12 years. I hope it helps someone if they’re looking for a bolt size or need a replacement bolt. Most of the sizes are from either my 89 5.0 Mustang when I work on it or from the 89 Mustang Shop Manual.

Hi

You’ve put down the drive shaft bolts as 12mm 1 inch long do you happen to know the metric thread pitch?

Thanks


I did not put this list together.

Just posted drive shaft bolt size in the tech threads although I found them to be m12x1.75x27m
I could use my 'magic' powers to move the list to the bolt reference thread. :thinking:

WAIT.... I don't want two of these floating around. We need to find a volunteer and combine both lists.

No point in having two of these listed in the tech index if there exists duplicate and/or conflicting info.

In the tech thread you posted this

Wondering which one was right?

WHAT! Me! Post wrong info! It's the caffeine I tell ya. Not enought caffeine! Or maybe sugar. Let me grab a cup of coffee and a couple cookies and run over there and correct that right now!
There, WHEW, fixed it, that will get ya fired.
12mx1.75x27m is the correct size.

I'm gonna work on it. I just have to sit in front of the big screen and decide what to do about a couple of conflicting points. I'm not going through each bolt/nut size just the one or two I know about, the rest will have to be dealt with if/when they come up
Will that work? Or just jamb the two together and let it sort itself out?

When I posted this I was told there was one similar. Sometimes a different title is easier to google. When I did the post about converting a hard top door to t top, I worded it a few ways for that reason.
 
1993 Cobra upper to lower bolts: (no intake spacer)

5/16-18 x 1.25" (2)
5/16-18 x 6" (2)
5/16-18 x 7" (2)

Ford Explorer upper to lower bolts (no spacer)

5/16-18 x 1.5-1.75" (2)
5/16-18 x 6.0-6.5" (4)


Ford Explorer TB/EGR to intake
5/16-18 x 3.5" (4)

Or use 4" studs and nuts
 
Im Updating the original post as you guys post stuff. We are getting a new computer soon and I’ll deal with the formatting stuff .

There are two size speed clips located on these cars. A short style, and a long style. There''s a dozen or so all around the engine bay and inside the interior. There’s a couple oddball clips, but this covers most of them

I've located some nearly exact replacements from www.mcmaster-carr.com

95210A150 - short barrel nut speed clip
95210A175 - long barrel nut speed clip
93474A213 - Zinc plated grade 10.9 screws (or you can choose to use another 6mm bolt for appearance, such as the fenders.

Originals on bottom. Replacements on top
