CA Looking for the bolt and wing nut that hold the spare tire onto the swing out tire carrier. Or just the bolt size?

Looking for the wing nut and long bolt for the spare tire carrier on the swing out style. I can find wing nuts in the aftermarket but the bolt only comes in a 70 dollar kit from what I have found. Any help or even the size of the bolt is appreciated. I have everything else.

Mines got a 3/9" × 6" carriage bolt. The plate and nut that hold the tire in place are originals.

3/16 x 7 1/2" long carriage bolt I believe

3/9"????

Fat fingered syndrome.

I meant 3/8"... as in the carriage bolt uses a 3/8" nut. The original bolt had vibrated and shimmied around so much the threads were pretty much gone. I found a galvied carriage bolt in my stash of bolts and nuts that fit the original retainer plate and put it into service.

Is definitely NOT a 3/16" bolt. May actually be a 7 1/2" long one.
