Well, when you get it out the old one, which you will have to do, you will know how long it is. I have no clue otherwise

My bad, sorry, the bolt is a 5/16 the head is 1/2", the thread length is 3/4", pretty sure the threads are 18 per inch.

You probably don't need to go there. If an autopart store (Napa usually) or hardware store in your area has the bif chest o'drawers with all the different bolts, it should be there among them.

The bolt size I gave you is for a Renix, I should have looked at your profile before answering (or you should have posted the year). Time for bed.
