You would be suprised at the variety of bolts a quality hardware store will have in stock.

That being said you might have a challenge on your hands getting everything done correct and getting the frame threaded to fit the new bolt. If you have the correct tap & die set you should be able to get it to work, just need to find a fine thread bolt to work from the way it sounds.
