2.8 Distributor hold down bolt

[85ranger2.8]

I had a mechanic try to time my engine with the new distributor. Well, he removed the hold down bolt and it has "disappeared". I have looked all over online and at the auto zones, O'reilly's etc but nobody carries it. I know it is an 8mm bolt but, was wondering if anyone had ideas on what to use for the hold down fork. All of the local junkyards with rangers have no distributors or carbs. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

Ok, the mechanic fabricated the ugliest thing you ever saw out of some scrap aluminum and it worked beautifully! I wish I'd have taken a picture before we put it in but, since I had my doubts, I didn't take one. Now that it is back in that impossible to get to spot, I don't plan to ever remove it again! Lol. The duraspark conversion really gave the old ranger a lot of needed and hoped for pep! I don't really care if the mpg is better or not, now I feel like if I give it some gas, it will respond!
