MG MGA - Coupe Vent Wing Pivot Bolt?

Guys,
Does anyone know of a source for the Coupe vent wing pivot bolt (AFH4876)? The "usual" suspects don't seem to offer it. I'll contact Todd Clarke but it doesn't seem to be in his regular parts list.

Thanks,
GTF

Is it possible this is close enough to the ones on Z-Magnettes? I don't have the Z-parts book anymore, so I can't check for you. I probably have one in a frame and could check it if the dimensions were given.

GTF:

If Clarke Spares doesn't have them, the best source might be eBay. Coupe doors and window frames come up for auction now and then. You might also try Scarborough Faire, as they have used spares in stock from time to time.

Hello GTF,

If you come up dry, you should be able to make this part up yourself. That's what I did, in any case. I believe that I used #10 X 2" (maybe 1-1/2") X 32 machine screws. Then I ground the heads slightly on each side in parallel to allow them to fit in the channel. Use the springs available (through VB or Moss, I forget where I got them) and top it off with a flat washer and either one nyloc nut or two standard nuts jammed together.

Check to see if an MG midget one is the same.
