Does anyone know where I can get the pinch bolt for the coupler that locks in the steering shaft. Its the bolt that has a chamfered shoulder. I seemed to have misplaced mine and no luck in finding one.

On the bolt, I want to say it's a 12 point, but I can't recall if it's a 7/16-14 thread pitch, or possibly a 5/16" UNC coarse thread?
Realistically, a grade 8 bolt in the right thread pitch would work fine. I can look and see if I still have any spares but anyone parting a 72-79 Era Ford intermediate would take the same bolt. Can't say for certain but I thought the 80-96 F series and bronco used the same rag joint? Maybe Dorman had the bolt info listed as part of the rag joint kit? I looked and Rockauto lists out a couple items from Lares Corporation (They do steering boxes) and they might have the info? Those are the two sizes they list for 1972 steering coupler.
