I assume it is metric, but what size, pitch and length?
Thank you.

then maybe it's not metric...
For about a dime each you can pick up one of each approximate size at home depot and test out what you need.

My recollection is that is 8mmx1.25pitch - Also, it is important to not use too long a bolt,
or it can damage internal components when threaded too far up into the chassis.
Pressure plate bolts from a 930 turbo were about right as I recall.

looked at the big box stores, didn't have it. Went to the redneck farm and tack store, then hung the projector.
I found dome titaninum bolts from a Ducati the may have worked. The price was to high for me .

Its a expensive option for a bolt that "may" work.
Where are you located? I have two spares bolts that can help you to find them. Just pay the shipping. I'm in texas
