Default Headlight Actuator Part Needed

I need the nylon liner inside the large I-Bolt at the end of the brass actuator rod coming out of the vacuum canister. If anyone has a solution or knows where one can be had, please direct me to the source. If anyone has a good I-bolt with a good liner, let me know. Thanks for looking!

I needed to unscrew the I-bolt from the rod and it was frozen, the only way I could get it to budge was to apply heat. The heat cooked the liner and here I am. The part was so dirty that I couldn't see a liner was there.

you may find a nylon sleeve like that at lowes in the fasteners section.
