One of the guys on the list who supplies used parts could probably provide you
with a good complete used bracket, including the long bolt that you are

It would seem if all you really want is the bolt, there are places that supply
only bolts, nuts, and screws that could offer a new one. Just make sure that if
you find one that it is rated for automotive use.
