    Looking for brand new shock tower bolts. These are the three bolts that hold the shock bracket to the top of the shock tower. Will mustang bolts also fit a Maverick?

    You can always go to any hardware store and get some SS carriage bolts. They work perfectly.

    That's a pet peeve I have...hardware store bolts instead of automotive bolts stick out like a sore thumb, especially on a nice car. Today I swapped a grade 8 hardware bolt holding the radio support bracket under the dash in my 63 Falcon with the correct phillips head bolt. Nobody would see it but I knew it was there.
