Mike,

It's a SCREW dammit (or a pin) not a bolt! <g>.  Hey...Steve D'G has 'em
for like $ 12 or $ 12.50 or sumpin'.  I always keep a pair in the toolbox
along with retaining spring clips, and rotor screws (I'm getting as bad as
Bob Stommel now).

You are right - you are SOL if you boogey one of these up....hardly a
generic part.
