Question Snapped lower shock mount bolt.

So here's the deal, when reinstalling my rear Koni SA(4th gen)shock I was snugging-up the lower nut and snapped the stud.
Right now I have a 4" long bolt with a small stack of washers mounting the lower part of the shock, but I like to use an actual lower shock mount bolt/stud, not something hack, like I have on there now.
So point me in the right direction, that doesn't involve sending them back to Koni, since I bought them used.

Damn, how did that happen? Air tools? Maybe you can order the part from Koni, I kinda doubt it though after looking at it.

I was tightening it up with my 1/2" drive 18" ratchet,then decides to snug it up a little bit more and snapped it, and fractured a finger in the process.

I've got it fixed now, with 3.25", 5/8 grd 8 bolts.
