Contact Ford Performance at: frpp@ford.com with your order number. They will send them right out. I had the same thing happen and received the bolts 2 days later from Ford.

OK so I bought it from CPC racing which in all honesty are being really great about it they wanted the delivery britches that showed the box was open and they’re going to try to get me the bolts. But I don’t feel like waiting.
Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the bolt the instructions only says M10 X 25. I need to know the pitch, and if they are hardened or not.
Thanks much
Thanks much for this. And honestly that’s exactly what I did after making my request on this forum. The only thing I can’t tell is what is the length of each screw? I know that they are M10x25 but what length are they?

Finally mine showed up at my local dealer yesterday. They almost lost it but luckily I went there to check on it and they found it (in area to be sent back-??)
BTW- what is the little fabric w/velcro and tie wraps for? It may become obvious when I install but thought I would ask if anyone knows. Thanks
EDIT: Never-mind... found the instruction sheet on line...

No..I cleaned the holes out real good
Then sprayed some wd40 up in them to help with friction
But any light oil would work
Then started bolt really slow and straight and then would go in 4 or so turns Then back it out and blow out hole, then did that until it was fully seated
The bolt will cut tye threads and it's gets really tight...like your going to break the bolt
Hindsight. Tapping it would be less concerning
But if you tske your time they eventually cut the threads

Wondering if this was because of the hardened version of the Loctite that was already on the screws. This type of Loctite softens up during the tightening process making it harder to tighten than rehardens again later on.
When I use bolts like this I wire wheel that crap off and then reapply Loctite in liquid form and torque to specs. clip nuts should not present more resistant than regular nuts.
