Hi

I have a 64 plate ford transit custom New Front subframe to fit, but it comes from ford with No threads in it to bolt the anti roll bar on.

Ford technical say its correct and its fitted with self tapping bolts and keep sending normal bolts 3 times now.

I have asked technical, If I tap them myself will that void any warranty but they refuse to answer, but I cant find these bolts anyware 13m heads about 40m long, any Ideas !!!!!

I DID A TECHNICAL ENQUIRY TO FORD AND THEY SAID THE SUBFRAME SHOULD HAVE 10MM HF NUTS WELDED IN. DEALER NEEDS TO REQUEST A CHECK TO PRINT TO BE DONE
