[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 15361961, member: 10912"] Pulled my blower to fix a leak in the cooling system...for the 3rd time. Went to screw the intercooler back to the blower with NEW Ford bolts and they snapped. My rented torque wrench must be WAY off because I had it set at 18 inch/lbs. It never clicked to warn me. Having trouble finding replacements that are NOT the Ford ones. Well, local replacements, I found a set online but shipping is 3 days. I was hoping to get this back on the car asap. These are the ones I found - [URL="http://www.vmpperformance.com/Cobra-intercooler-to-supercharger-bolts-TVS-and-M-p/icbolts.htm"]VMP Performance[/URL] I went to Home Depot and found these ([URL="http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-M5-0-8-x-16-mm-Zinc-Plated-Steel-Hex-Bolts-2-Pack-35668/100338428"]click here[/URL]), but they are not grade 8 and they are Zinc plated. [B]Do I NEED grade 8[/B]? [B]Do I 100% need to torque them to exactly 53 inch/lbs or can I do it by feel...until they are snug?[/B] Anyone know where I can find M5 x 16mm grade 8 SS bolts and have them over-nighted...or even 2 day? Worst case I guess I'll grab the ones from VMP and have to wait for shipping. Someone on here said they got theirs from Fastenal, but the ones I see listed aren't grade 8. No luck on McMaster-Carr either. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
