I'm guessing the dealer gave you the wrong bolt. Maybe his part's bin had mixed bolts that he didn't notice when he grabbed one. Ronnie's HD shows a picture of your setup, and it has a p/n for that bolt; but if you try to order it, the shopping cart invoice only shows the p/n and price. Description only says "bolt" (but no bolt details or specs).
Will look at Ronnies again but couldnt find anything under Frame diagram.
The dia. of the hole in the Front Mount is 9/16".
Will see what the local Dealership has in stock. Dont like mixing UNC & Metric but I might even fit a Metric Bolt as large UNC Bolts are difficult & expensive to source here in Scotland.

+1 I like these kinds of posts. I've learned so from them.

The back of the paper parts book has everything listed by part number.
It would tell you type, length, size, and thread count.
That is one reason I think it is better to get the paper one than looking at a website.
