steering knuckle pinch bolt spec?

Hey all: I've managed to snap off the d-side steering knuckle pinch bolt. I've drilled out the snapped off bolt (and managed to save most of the threads, I think), and now need to source a replacement bolt-Anyone know what the spec of the bolt is (Grade and size?) I intend to buy about 3/4 inch longer than needed and add a nut to it, too. Thanks-

Stock bolt is 60mm long, so go for ~75-80mm on the replacement if you want to add a nut.

edit: try mcmaster.com They have everything under the sun.
