So while I had my transmission and torque converter out to be rebuilt I lost one of the torque converter bolts and nut.  I've looked everywhere for it but cannot locate it.  Anybody know where I can source a replacement?  Any help would be much appreciated.

What are you working on?

It's a 1957 Lincoln Premier.  The bolt holds the two halves of the torque converter together as well as to the flex plate.

Where are you at?

Lorena, Texas (South of Waco)

I'm in Spokane. 

I don't know if you and Ted got together, so here are the PN's -

If Ted doesn't have one, I recommend you contact some one in a Lincoln club for it.  Any chance it is the same as a Fordomatic??

It appears to be the same for the MERC-O-MATIC but a different size for the FORD-O-MATIC -

If you can't find another bolt, what I would do is use a standard hex head bolt, nut, and lockwasher.  Then 180 degrees from that replacement bolt I would remove the original bolt and install exactly the same combination as the replacement bolt/nut to assure the balance of the converter.

The bolts appear to be the same as my '55 T-bird, Hill's Thunderbird catalog shows:
