Default Need help finding bolts

Howdy. Been a while since a posted, but I’m hopeful y’all would be able to help. I was fixing up my ‘79 corvette and was wondering why the key cylinder would keep falling out. I found out the 79 model year key is held in by a screw, and that my corvette simply does not have it. Does anyone know what size bolt it is or if theres somewhere I can buy this specific bolt? Picture is attached to where it should go

Default Ignition lock cylinder screw

I ended up finding the bolt on eBay. Here’s a screenshot of the listing in case anyone else has this question in the future

That looks like the size and threads of a turn signal switch screw although it doesn't have the long flank. Glad you found it!
