Need help: What is a "010" bolt?

[RagnarKon]

Alright I'm up to no good again on my Bronco, and need some help identifying a bolt grade.

Allow me to present to you THE BOLT OF MYSTERY. This is a Cold Heading Co. bolt marked with "010". What in the world is a "010" grade bolt?? Anyone?? At all?? Please??

It is rare my Google-fu fails me, but it has failed me spectacularly this time.

Also, if anyone from Ford reads this... W706027-S439

Gonna guess here but 010 often marks 10mm. With no radial markings or grade markings it's a Grade 2 bolt.

Are you sure that is 010?

It looks like 01C.

In that case I think the C just refers to a low mechanical property and large tolerance on dimension.

Definitely 010.

Ohhhhhhhh... ya know.... 010 may be 10mm, because it is indeed a 10mm head.

As far as Grade 2... it's metric. M8 bolt. As far as I know metric doesn't follow the little line/notch system.

Yep, now that you've stated it's metric for sure, it's an ungraded bolt. Low torque/yield. Of course now I'm curious where they came from

The lasso/tie-down points in the back... which makes me just a little confused that they would be ungraded.

I don’t think it means 10mm, because I see this same marking on many other Ford bolts that aren’t 10mm heads. I have no idea what it means though.

The manufacturer is a Montreal Canadiens hocky fan.

Best I can find is these bolts off Ebay with the same "CH"

The listing has them as General Motors

Well.... HUFF.

Alright... you happen to know the torque spec for the fuel rails on the 2.7L/3.0L? There's a handful of gigantic M8 x 50mm bolts in that thing.

18 ft. lbs

18 ft. lbs

Oh look at that, same torque spec as the tie down points in the cargo area.

Tiny lightweight fuel rails seems close enough to 300 lbs of cargo on a slide. I'll think I'll have two of these fuel rail bolt packs.

ps. When this goes horribly wrong, let the record show I tried to do it the right way.

It's binary. Reusable once. Off/on/off.

Holy $hit - the great @RagnarKon has been stumped.

I wish I could help you as much as you have contributed here but I got nuthin buddy - sorry!

*edit*
I was all proud because I found out the CH stood for Cold Heading, but then I read Ragnarkon already new that, so ... nothing to add here after all
