Great looking car, Rick. Was it a hardtop that Mark converted or did you purchase it as a convertible? :lol
 
dealer said Dec as well

My dealer said the same thing that December is parts available target. He did not know if the new bolts were to be wired. If not, I will just keep the accufabs(wired) in the one car and let them change out the heritage with official FOMOCO parts. Thanks for the info though.
As for the Edsel, I had a guy at Carlisle tell me that the reason they sold poorly and ultimately became the proverbial goat car for Ford was that the original front grill center resembled a "fagina" (as Austin Powers would say). Supposedly not very marketable in the 50s or now. I know it is off subject but is certainly distracting away from the axle bolt issue.
 
Leaving in the accufabs .... get the FoMoCo bolts for the parts case.
 
Want to feel real good about FGT purchase?

Ok boring key fob and a couple bolts..

I am liking the my FGT a whole bunch more today:cheers
 
Well I'm stuck on the side of the road right now sending this from my blackberry. With a trail of axle fluid behind me and a crowd around me. Waiting for a tow truck to drop me off at ford. My warranty expired less than a month ago, hope they're going to cover this.
An f360 just wizzed past me......very irritated right now.
 
Don't want to be a butt-hole...
I feel your pain...
Mrs. Bony spends more each week at the day spa than the accufab kit and the install....

Meanwhile my Fcar has been awaiting warranty work of F of San Francisco for more than 2 months!
F Enzo is not a license plate in this case :(

Hope you get your gal up and running :)
 
At least I'm close to home. I'd have been pissed if it happened last weekend at palm desert.

Hope the new ford bolts are in stock!

Chris,
The first time I had the Gt Guys install the replacement bolts, we thought it was a washer issue. Installed new bolts with the 'right washers', then at the rally they installed the accufab bolts. Just get accufab bolts if the the Ford kit is not in stock. Sorry, I feel your pain.
Cheers,
daniel

If/when available, part numbers for the replacement bolt and washer might be nice, thanks!

Update – New ford Bolts are being released today.

After purchasing the Accufab’s:bored and getting a ridiculous runaround for the past week they’re shipping the bolts from Sacramento today.:rolleyes
 
Just received notice from Ford Motor Company this morning that stocking centers are being stocked starting today, around the country and will be receiving updated parts for axle bolt and washer repair fix. This means that it will take dealers a few days to order and receive updated parts for the repair. Give your local dealer time to receice them. Ford will probabily start notifying owners shortly. This problem will go away.
 
Updated with letter. Please, no more hypotheticals. Case closed! :cheers
