Air pump bolt question

Does anyone know the dimensions for the air pump bolt on a 90 stock vert. It's the bolt on the slider, not the pivot point bolt. Mine snapped inside and there's not enough on the head to get a proper measurement from it. I'm just going to buy a better bolt and washer so it shouldn't do that again, at least for awhile.

The same M8 bolt as used everywhere else on the car. Don't know the exact length but 1.5" should do it.

I've been through that too.Bolt snaps.
If you can drill the steel bolt out(pain in the ***),rather than trying to save threads make the hole a smooth hole,and put a bolt and nut on it.

I thought about doing that, but if I'm able to save the thread I'll just buy a normal bolt, otherwise that was plan B.
