I was having new tires put on and somehow one of the lug bolts got broken in two. I gotta say, It worries me a bit when I see something like this. Hopefully it was just an isolated incident.

I also found one of the brake pads on the front, while in fine shape at 53000 miles, had separated. The pad separated from it's backing plate, yet they still were in place. Worked fine, and noise free. I'm changing them, not waiting to see what happens when they really do fail.

So anyway, I need a lug bolt if anyone has one laying around. I'd be happy to make it worth your trouble.

 

No problem. Are the bolt sizes the same for all XF models? I've got a plenty of them I lying around from my SRT. Shoot me a PM, and I'll mail a couple out.

 

Yes, NA and SRT6 are same bolt.
( I also sent him a IM saying I could send a pair, let's see who gets the honor )

 

Oh boy, what a pickle. Pick the person who posted first, or the person that posted second but PM'd me. I've never felt more important, AND got a lug bolt to boot!!!
Seriously, thanks. It's good that there are people looking out for ya'
So after much hand wringing, and a quarter flip, you win. Again, thanks. Ron

 

OK, got your address in the IM, too late today ( post office here closes at noon on Wednesdays ),
I'll get two of 'em out to you tomorrow.
You owe me a favor down the road somewhere.

 

Oh well, maybe next time. l didn't think of the PM strategy, gotta play all my aces next time.

It is good to see many forum members here contribute or help in many different ways!

 

This goes to show the reason that our forum is the best.
Members here are great.
Thanks to ala_fire and power sedan.
Great job guys.
Ever in my area drinks on me.

 

Is that when the pony express goes through?

 

No, but the Wells Fargo stagecoach does .
( on Fridays the turnip truck comes through and a few people fall off )

 

I hang on when I'm on it. Though I have been pushed.

 

Shipped you the bolts today.
Had to walk 10 miles each way in the snow to the post office to get it done.

 

But was it up hill both ways?
Thanks again.

 

I saw him on the side of the road, slogging it out.

And the wind was in his face both ways, too!

 

Golly!

I'm starting to feel guilty he won the coin toss. I was just going to utilize our courier service from a climate controlled facility.

 

I can dig up some if needed. Late as usual and thrilled to see forum members competing to give parts away. I may even have some valve cover bolts!

Hahahaha! Are they OEM or those dreaded non-spec aftermarket baby killers?

 

Tool and die expert edition.

Wow...just wow......

 

Max, you have no faith !
The 2 lug bolts I sent were mint, el primo, collector edition, UNUSED, OEM bolts.
No baby killers around here.

 

I was referring to the ongoing thread about the valve cover bolts.

I KNOW you would never provide questionable hardware to anyone.
