intake cover

I bought one from a guy on SVTP for a great price, it is brand new, never used. What type of screws do I need to put it on? Do I have to go to Ford to get a certain type? He didn't have them.

i know ford has a mounting kit. not sure what it includes, as i dont have the cover.

if it's the factory manifold cover you need longer upper throttle body studs
ford part# W712289-S437 studs qty 2 (be careful not to over torque) - torque to 89lb-in
ford part# W520411-S437 nuts qty 2

What year is your car? I bought one but since mine is an 07 I already had the longer throttle body studs and did not need the ones that came with my intake.

Yeah I bought one for my 07 and it just snapped on, it came with longer tb studs, but I didn't need them. The whole cover just snaps on over existing studs, it doesn't bolt on or anything. You can take it on and off without any tools.

2005 & 2006's did not come with the cover, they had regular bolts not studs,
I added the cover to my 06.

What strut brace do you have that fits over the cover? Any problems with it hitting the hood?

 

[partsbill]

it's the OEM GT500 brace, I did not have any hood clearance problems on my car, the hood insulator rubs up against brace but no interference with the hood, my friend had a problem with his brace contacting the hood, he put a washer on the back stud under the brace on both sides which angle the brace alittle forward and down giving him enough room to clear the hood.

Thanks for the info guys, I'll get the kit from the local stealership ASAP.
