Hey Dude, I just bought one of these to. But it didn't come with the hardware. It also seams that it should come with an O-ring. And what goes into the hole at the top? What did you use? thanks

The Gt-500 Covers have the Axle Vent on the Cover. You will need a Plug or Get another Vent.

The vents were never cataloged correctly by Ford and I had to run a Gt-500 Vin about a year ago to get the part Number. If memory serves is a BR3Z-4022-A

The Bolts are STUPID EXPENSIVE! Part Number 6L1Z-4346-AA Approx $53.00 Per Pack of 4 so you would have to buy 12 or 3 Packs. All they are is a 5/16 x 18 x 1.40 Bolt. I complained to FORD Last Year when I still worked at the Dealership to No Avail.

I updated the Post for all to benefit. Sorry to hear about your wife, I am working from Home now since they let me go at the Dealership when I took off to be with my son. Thanks for the Support! My trials are still in Play as well my Sister is going pretty fast due to cancer and is spending her last days in Wyoming with her Son & Grandkids. I expect the call anytime. It's just never ending.

Mgb,

KC
