So i bought a CFM from a guy and he didnt give me the hardware to connect it , ie the bolts to mount it to the engine, with out the bolts it can not be installed properly. does anyone know of a place to get the same bolts or similar ones. i tried calling CFM direct and they dont sell just the hardware, i checked a home depot and a local hardware store, the hardware store had a completely threaded bolt that was slightly longer that the original, will that work??? any help on this would be great guys thanks

here is a thread so you can see what the correct bolts look like i only have oem stuff

 

There has to be somewhere. I haven't seen them in person, but I can't imagine a complet threaded rod wouldn't work. I could be wrong though.

but on another note, them not selling the hardware is crazy. What happens when you loose one? I would call again and ask for somebody else.

 

The reason CFM gave me for not selling the hardware only is that a shipment of intakes was "lost" and that if they sold the hardware only they are in effect allowing the lost or stolen intakes to be installed

 

The threaded bolt will work.
Grind off or cut off excess.

 

can you use the stock bolts? just thinking out loud

 

You can get studs in different lengths from any fastener supply shop.

 

i can use the stock bolts for the two by the engine block but the other two need to be the threaded at both ends, i will check a fastener supply shop today at lunch

 

Had same run around and was told they were a special stud by cfm and were made for them found that hard to beleave and wasnt real pleased with the answer so found them at a metric fasterner place stocked. Ordered them had 2 days later.

 

Who are you guys buying from that is not sending the hardware?

 

someone on DTR in the classified section...
fastenal didnt have it and couldnt get it so i got a completely threaded m8x1.25p stud with the required nuts from a hardware store in town. i will see how it fits and if i need to do any cutting tonight

 

I bought from a friend that Purchased it new and had bill of sale had just lost one of the studs after he had taken it off and when I inquried about purchasing a new stud is when I had the problem and just got kinda irritated at the way I was treated when I just inquired about purchasing new studs so went out on my own since I had worked in the fastener business and knew of other sources for the studs.

 

Joe189man what is you address ?If they your studs don't work? I have a set here off of a intake they warrantied I will send you. You can PM me.

 

let me see if what i have will work, i need the truck soon like by friday and right now it is just sitting in the drive way taking up space i will pm you tomorrow thanks

 

No problem just let me know. There not doing me any good anymore.

 

Well the studs i got from the hardware store worked fine and i got it all hooked up last night i used two oem bolts for the mortor side connections
thanks for everyone's help
i am going on a small road trip towing a boat to a buddies place, so i can report any findings next week
