Need a bolt and some info

I have been searching around here but no one seems to have this bolt or they are just not intrested in selling ONE. It is the bolt missing in the second picture. Does anyone know a place to get one? I would also be intrested in any info anyone has about the history of this jeep it is now done and I am driving it. Thanks Eddy

You can kind of fudge that fastener with a panhead slotted and a thin washer centered on the shank and turned down a bit to act as a spacer.

The original screw had a short stepped shoulder that the bushed area rode on. IIRC they were a 1/4"X20 TPI.

Personally I like to use a slightly longer screw and mount a thin wave or Bellville washer under the screw head, because those pivot points always seem to get wallowed out and vibrate.
