You can make you own a bolt 5/16 5 " long grade 5 or 8 course thread with shoulder on top cut to length and use fine die cut your own thread. That's what I'll do.

Thanks for answer The Fenton covers (from the 50s) I have are "18 13/16 long "5 7/16 wide . looks like I'll order a set of gaskets for cast. And modify the gasket . Or could they be same gasket that fits metal and cast?

Same gaskets fit metal and cast. The only difference you may run into is that the gaskets for late steel covers had tabs on them. Just cut off.
