Default Convertible Top Cylinder Yoke Screw

I am replacing the convertible top cylinders on my '46 Super Deluxe. I had to drill and use an extractor to get the screw which attaches the yoke to the top frame out and apart. I am searching for a slotted shoulder screw with 3/8" 24 threads and a 1/2" shoulder. Thread and shoulder lengths are each 3/4 inch.

I'm not sure if this is the original screw. I talked with the guys in Punta Gorda and they said that they used some type of pin which they are sending with the new cylinders.

I'm checking out my options. There's not a lot of 3/8 24 screws out there.

Check out McMaster-Carr website. Specifically, look at "shoulder bolts".

I found something that should work there. It has a socket head but that's no big deal.

Thanks
