AOD mounting bolts

[narly1]

Does anybody happen to know if there's anything special about the OEM bolts that Ford uses to fix their AOD transmission to the steel/rubber trans mount?

Here in Canada Ford charges ~ $20/bolt.

I can purchase a similar fastener albeit without the flange under the hex, class 8.8 (roughly the same as grade 5) for about $1.50 each at Home Depot. Even if I throw a flat washer under each bolt I'd still be way ahead $$ wise.

Thanks,

Earl

No reason for the OEM hardware... The hardware store 8.8 bolts are just fine!

Thanks, that's my thinking as well.
