    grab a set of calipers and measure it. Not being a smart a$$, just thinking this should be able to be done by anyone wrenching on a car.

    I went through this for a seat delete too. IIRC, it's some impossible to find size like M11 fine pitch.

    There's an easily acquired SAE size that threads in perfectly however. Believe it's 7/16 fine.

    Why not just use that bolt you have there?

    If it’s an odd one, and you absolutely gotta get a new one, you’ll need to go to place that makes and sells fasteners. I have one not too far from me but they have a minimum purchase price. Meaning they won’t sell you one $0.15 bolt. Ya gotta meet the minimum, it’s something like $25. Or if you’re lucky to have a good hardware store, not the orange or blue store. I think ace and true value are independent owned, so some have a very vast selection, some don’t. Or try the squeaky penguin advice.

    Calipers and a thread pitch gauge should be in your toolbox so when the need arises, you’ll be able to measure it yourself.

    I have this thread pitch gauge. My calipers are the brass slide type, works for me. Don’t get the ones that have a sticker, most don’t even have it on straight, brand name starts with an E, can’t think what it is right now.

    take it to AutoZone, napa, tractor supply, etc...

    they all usually have some female threads in the fastener aisle that you can stick your thing in, to figure out the diameter/thread count.
