That link in post #18 has a link to the thread with part numbers. Then you copy/paste into your favorite search engine, price compare among the results, order from wherever you want, and Bob's your uncle.

Can someone help me identify the P/N for the front bolt clips that hold the front fabric splash guard on? My mounting clips rusted and broke loose that the two front bolt screw into. Been hard to find in the ford parts pages.

Why not replace the leaking pan with the Dorman aluminum pan and get rid of the source of the leaks? The Dorman pan is $120 at Rockauto for the 2.7 version and is complete with new pan bolts and an O ring type gasket. I think the 3.5 version may be cheaper.

I upgraded mine to a Magnesium Metal Plate $80
The Clips on them suck bad so I upgraded the Clips to a Glarks M6 assortment
I did an oil change this afternoon after returning from church and I am very happy with the Glarks set and also happy with the metal plate as opposed to the fiber one

QUOTE=SpencerPJ;7564569]Post #13 is p/n for a steel version that works. There are some very nice aftermarket ones as well (bit pricy imo) This topic is as ugly as an oil thread. I too like the shield for added protection against some wires below, and hides the cats a little. Others feel it is unnecessary and comical to consider. Thankfully my 4 year old, 50k diaper is still in perfect shape, must be because I do my own oil changes and take care of it.

- Manganese (Mn) Steel: A hard, wear-resistant steel alloy, famously known as Hadfield steel, used for heavy-duty applications like crushing machines and railway switches.
- Magnesium (Mg) Alloy: A metal alloy prized as the lightest structural metal, widely used for lightweight applications in aerospace, automotive parts, and electronics.
- Key Differences: Manganese is added to improve strength and corrosion resistance. Magnesium is used for weight reduction and strength. They are two entirely different elements.
