A quick peek at the TR 2/3 Spare Parts Catalogue (also a recommended resource)
shows that it had a Standard-Triumph part number, 113094, meaning there was
something special about it. (Common hardware has a different numbering scheme,
that encodes the type, size, etc.) However, an ordinary 5/16" bolt should do
for the moment. Get one that is long enough to have a bit of plain shank on
it, 1/4" to 3/8" long, so the soft aluminum end frame does not touch the
threaded portion of the bolt. Since Home Depot won't have a Nyloc nut to fit
it, be sure to get a plain nut, lockwasher and flat washer.
