Any idea where to get a reasonably priced replacement OEM (or OEM-like) coil rail bolt (just one)? I have 3 of the 4, and the 4th bolt is a stainless bolt that's shorter and a smaller head. It works, but drives me nuts every time I look at it or have to remove the rail and have to use 2 different sockets to do it. Not paying $30/bolt like I'm seeing on ebay.
 
Pull one of the bolts...head to a hardware store and buy four matching bolts.

Or do what I do...I have a bolt thread pitch checker and just order a selection from Amazon. I also have a collection of hardware stripped from cars abandoned in the woods.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. As far as finding one at the hardware store.... I need to find a decent hardware store. Lowe's, Home Depot, Rural King.... They all may have what I'm looking for, but it would take the rest of my life sorting through their godawful mess of a bolt bin that is NEVER sorted appropriately. None of the legit hardware stores around me have a bolt of this type for whatever reason. I've got a buddy checking his parts pile.. He thinks he may have a couple sets of these bolts laying around, so I may get off easy this time.

It's been like this for 3 years since a shop that was doing some work for me apparently lost a bolt and replaced it with what's there now. It shouldn't bother me, but it does 😂
