the bolt that holds it in is missing, dont know when it fell off or if i even put it back in (slap on wrist) but as it stands i need one

would they carry this at an autostore like AutoZone or O'Reileys

You'll probably need to hit up a junk yard-I think those bolts have a special shoulder in them IIRC.
