I replaced the original plaque with a CF from AG motorsports and used the bolts provided. After driving, I noticed the left bolt missing. Somehow this became loose and disappeared. I replaced the remaining bolt with the originals and made sure both were pretty tight. On my next drive (pretty spirited) I returned home and the original right bolt was missing. What is happening here? Is the engine getting so hot it is melting the bolts, loosening them and they are falling out? It shouldn't have anything to do with the new plaque, so what is the cause? Also, does anyone have the part numbers for the original bolts so I can get replacements? I can try the lower mounts to see if they hold but need new bolts and I'm also concerned both will come off and the builder plaque will fall into the engine or be lost. Thanks.
