Yeah it might hurt you going through the chic-fil-a line... I'd hate for your to have too much rear downforce there... could be an absolutely terrible calamity.

I find it amazing that people take the time to actually read and then post on a thread they think is ridiculous... especially one that is 7 pages long. All that time wasting on something ridiculous could've been spent somewhere else while being useful to someone/something else.

I blame it on the covid.

I appreciate the thread as I'm contemplating adding the handling package to my order.
I say get the handling pack if you plan to ever track the car (or if you just like the look). Worst case scenario, you can always sell the gurney flap and camber plates if you decide you don’t like them. Camber plates aren’t worth a ton but the gurney flap certainly is.

I'd order it just for resale. I'm not sure it's the end all, be all (I'd think someone uptight about it might be better off with the R), but my thought is it adds to the appeal to the resale

Only thing is, I have the fat mans air cooled seats, so here on one hand I have handling, but I have the Dairy Queen seats.

Take out one of the short screws and ask for one a little longer. There are plenty of fastener companies online.
Pretty sure you can find it if you spend some time.
would just be nice to get the actual oem ford longer screws.

Vivid has a lot better price and free shipping
Got a Swing from Vivid. Quite painful. May be worth talking to Lethal to see if they will match. At least then you have options. May also be worth looking at the Better Business site on Vivid. Ultimately and individual choice. Just sharing a single data point. Good luck with whatever route you choose.

In for more info on what ya got
I bought this part: arctic cat 8477-616

I took a chance because it was a 16mm bolt, we’re supposed to have 15mm, and stock SWING screws are 10mm. However, as Epiphany pointed out, under head length is the only thing that matters. The 16mm bolts I bought turns out are only about 12.5mm under head.

Even though my ford dealer is still going to send me what they believe to be the correct screws once they aren’t back ordered, I think I’ll be staying with this solution for now. They feel very stout, look pretty close to original, and will hold the flap on during track days without a problem.

All that being said, the solution Epiphany laid out is likely better.

Not bad. No need for a washer, just the screw? And if you get some kind of # I can request from Ford lmk. I still want the exact oem hardware. So however you ordered from ford lmk.

Yup, head width is roughly the same so no washer required.

If I get a part number of any kind I’ll be sure to post it here, but it won’t be a ford part number. Ford dealer said after extensive research they were unable to locate these screws from Ford Corporate or Ford Performance. Allegedly, the fastener company my dealership works with for all of their in-shop supplies was able to find the screw we need in a paper catalog. However, that screw is currently backordered, which makes me wonder if that’s the reason so many of us got the incorrect screws to begin with....

Funny... I also ordered mine from country cat, and I ordered 5 :)

You’ll be happy, they’re heavy duty screws. I also like that it uses a T-30 instead of a t-20
