    I would not reuse that bolt. You can replace it with a like generic type by visiting your local hardware store.

    Thanks - do you know what type of bolt it is? Otherwise, I'll dig out the toolbox, get it out, replace it and report back for reference to others.

    Back it out, measure it, and replace it with an appropriate sized Metric thread prob M3 or M4 socket head bolt in black stainless steel. No rust again. Many sources. I've used belmetric.com
