Need bolt for exhaust bracket ("Bracket catalyzer")

[m2d2]

Hello,

The sleeved bolt running through my forward transmission to catalytic converter bracket (part # 11761716390) was broken when I purchased the car. It appears I'm only able to purchase a new bracket entirely ($170) versus just the bolt that goes through the bracket. Has anyone encountered this issue and is there any bolt-only option or aftermarket solution? The bracket itself is fine, so I really don't want to spend nearly $200 on something like this. FYI it is a sleeved bolt, so difficult to find online individually.

TIA!

looks like you could make it with an extra nut and washer on an all-thread bolt?

That's what I was thinking, but there is a sleeve that goes through the bushing. I'll have to do some searching to find one that is the right size ~ just seems like a giant PITA!

The bracket is for the automatic transmission.
