Broken Jacking Rail bolt

[PeteH]

Hey all,
I broke a bolt while installing my BMR Jacking Rails and would like to replace it with the correct fastener from Ford
Does anyone have a part number or could possibly tell me what the purpose of those bolts are for?
I'm having a hard time looking them up since I don't know what to use to search for them and I don't know what they are meant to fasten together
Thanks

The bags in the top left contain those bolts, hopefully you can get the part number (but it might be U.K. specific ?) :

I would be a little concerned if you have broken one - they are a 10.9 grade bolt, is something else wrong elsewhere ?

Cross threaded ?

Let me go out on the limb a bit further. I seriously have any doubts the body bolts & fasteners are different UK/USA.

LMAO

Cross threaded, what UK metric is different ?

Not sure I’m with you sorry.

I missed that the OP had cross threaded the bolt.

Not sure what you mean with “what U.K. metric is different” ?

No worry, it's a web thing <smilling>


Misunderstanding works both ways,

I was meaning the part number on the bags might be U.K. specific, even though the part will be common across USDM and euro cars.

I’ve found out on a few occasions that Ford conveniently switch the part numbers for the U.K. market - I was just making the OP aware that the numbers on those parts bags in my photo ‘might’ be completely useless to his local parts guy

The bolt head broke off during removal. Not sure why. Didn't have any problems with the other fasteners
I have no idea what those bolts actually do, so I can't search using key words and I don't have a part number

Oh, not sure, could be front clip they are hefty, can you remove the threaded part, or have you ?

Here's what those bolts are for :

And they refit them to the holes afterwards.

Hopefully the part number from my first photo will help

I think they are HB1's :

And I don't think that number is U.K. specific

@WD Pro
Thank you for your help
Do you have a better pic of the part number?
Ford has several bolts listed as HB 1

Wow, those are some chunky bolts. Did you have a cheater bar on the ratchet? Big impact? Popeye arms?

 

[Threebanger]

Had to be a bad casting. Those bolts are thick! Or...you forgot..righty tighty....

 

[PeteH]

@J. Kidd
Thank you! That's what I needed

To everyone else who's asking, no I did not turn the bolt the wrong way, I do not have Popeye arms, LOL and my Milwaukee 1/4" drive impact was set on the lowest tq setting. I had no problems removing any of the seven other bolts, for some reason, on the last bolt, the head sheared right off as soon as I squeezed the trigger

Huge thanks for all the help
