Bolt for brake arm

Hello All,
I'm looking for the brake arm bolt that holds the arm to the chassis. It slides through the arm hole that has a zert fitting to lube it. My car is a 1953 Oldsmobile Super 88 4 door. I cant seem to find it anyplace. Are there any other options for it? Thanks for the help.
Jesse

I don't have one for sale but i can give you the dimensions of the one i have, the brakes are currently apart anyway, maybe find something comparable on McMaster-Carr or Fastenal. I'll measure it when i get home form work tonight.

Not really a bolt





more of a shaft with a tapped hole, i cant remember exactly how it was attached to the frame, I grabbed the manual brake set up off my parts car to get rid of the bendix treadle vac set up.

Looks to be a 5/16 bolt, not sure if it’s 18 or 24 threads per inch, the bolt is 3/4” without measuring the head, I counted approx 17 threads so probably safe to say it’s 24tpi.

good luck!!
