These are off a Mondeo rear light lens and I need to find some replacements. Two are missing and these are what's left. I've tried obvious search terms like 'dual thread fasteners' but could do with knowing their technical name. If someone can point me to a supplier, that would be even better. Thanks

I think they are called either hanger bolts or dowel screws.

I may be totally wrong but you may find that they're a ford dealer only part. They will probably just be categorised as fitting, fastener or similar with a part number. It is also possible that they are not available at all & only come with the complete lens. A pair of second hand lenses may be the best option.

Thanks to both of you that has got me unblocked. I will try a local Ford parts counter first and failing that, I am pretty sure I can find a dowel screw size I can fettle to do the job.

I looked for something similar, best if you can get a parts counter guy who is friendly enough to show you the screen.

Then found out I had to buy a complete assembly though.

As has already been suggested you have to buy a new lens, they are not available separately.
