Hmmm.  All the responses I received to this question didn't exactly inspire 
a lot of confidence.  Maybe $16.50 for a new bolt isn't such a bad idea 
after all.  The last time I did this, I had to fabricate one by welding a 
short threaded nipple onto what was left of my old bolt and machining 
it.  And thanks, but I already have several busted ones myself.
