Simple question - license bracket bolt thread specs

[t32b]

Sorry to tee up such a trivial question, but my new (new to me at least) 2005 FGT came with only two of the four rear license plate bracket bolts. I need to buy two more to install the Cooltech bracket/offsets. I was going to head to the parts store today, but don't have a sample bolt with me. Anyone know what the specs are? And, are they a standard Ford part? I might be heading to the dealer tomorrow...
Thanks in advance

Thats what I like about this forum. All you guys are way more cool and helpful with each other than any other group I've ever been associated with. It's a VERY VERY good thing to be a part of this group.

They were a special order item from my local dealer. $7 each. You'd think they were from a defense contractor.

Think they are the standard T-27 torex that is everywhere on the car. I bought a couple of extra in case I loose one during an oil change.

Yes they are, I bought some extras also. Ford part #4G7Z16163AA, $4.75 ea.

Thanks very much for the quick help. I had to go by a local dealer for a CA smog check and, upon mentioning it, he replaced/installed the two missing screws - no questions asked. I offered to pay, but he wouldn't hear of it. Nice.
In fact, a surprisingly positive dealer experience. Quite unexpected.

Am I missing something?

I took a few washers I had and "spaced" them behind the license plate and screws. Should I be selling this as a special supercar cooling system upgrade? I feel rather stupid now. Is it too late for a patent?

Patents for dollars

I'm in the software biz and responsible for a large number of folks worldwide, many of whom have filed for, and been granted patents. The US patent office is remarkably uninformed and shocking liberal - making these patents doubtlessly contestable in the future.
That said, go for it! Sounds like you could get half a dozen (well, at least four) filings out of this one! Hey, what the heck, add every forum member to the application.

:lol Cooltechlll.com has them. nota4re has been offering the spacer kit for 18 months now

Shhhhhhhhh!, MAD IN NC, after 12 months I lose my grace period for the patent application. As such, I think I have only been selling these for 11 months!:rofl
