Broke a midpipe clamp bolt. What size?

[Grimlock]

I was adjusting my exhaust yesterday and snapped a bolt off the factory clamp that holds the midpipe and OTA pipe together. (What's a torque spec? )

Anyways, its holding for now but I need to replace it. The car is an 08 GT so does anyone know what the bolt size is? I'm trying to decide whether its better to drill out/replace that one bolt or just replace the clamps entirely with the ones for sale on LMR.

The factory replacements are 35.00 from Tasca so you have 3 options.

I keep forgetting Tasca exists. Looking on the site, I'm seeing $52 for part 5A231A. We looking at the same thing?

Either way, that is a crazy price.

I snapped my axle back bolt. Just used my hand grinder to make up a new one out of a regular bolt I had in my junk box.

Option 3...... $0.00 with just a little work.

Today I learned there is a difference between tascaparts.com and fordparts.com/tasca

Probably what I'll wind up doing.

Still liking those Super Sports over the sportlines?

Fuck yes, and with the little bit fatter 255/45s it's right where I want it looks wise. I've had the car a little over a year now and I still go out an just stare at it on my smoke breaks at work. Lol!
