cowl vent hardware

Does any body know if the "bolt" that attaches the cowl vent to the intermediate link is available for my 56 F100? If I remember, it has a shoulder on it so the link isn't tight against the vent door. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks.

if one doesn't show up, could you use a standard hex bolt with a nylock nut that you can use to 'adjust' the tension on the bolt ???

Thanks for the response. I believe the problem with just using a regular bolt and lock nut is that the hole in the curved "link" is bigger than the hole in the bottom of the vent so there would be some slop in the movement. I might have that backwards but, regardless, the holes are two different sizes. The item I am looking for isn't the one on the handle portion, It's the one on the curved link part. The picture is a little dark on my screen and I think it is on the other end where there is no arrow.
