Default Need help with Deluxe

Does anyone know the part number for the rear luggage rack fastener? You know the one that bolts into the fender and then you bolt the pillion onto the top. My Deluxe is an 05 but I believe they used the same fastener on all model years. If your running a solo setup and have the time I would appericate it if someone could grab a quick picture of this “boltâ€. I'm trying to re-install my passenger setup and misplaced this fastener.
Dealers look at me like I have lobsters crawling out of my ears. HELP!

Thanks, LP

I contacted all the dealers in my area about this, they said that is was a standard 1/4 X 20 bolt. It isn't. It is a 1/4 X 20 thread. However the "bolt" bolts down the rear of the luggage rack and has a threaded top so it can receive the thumb screw from the passenger pillion (hard to describe). So, I contacted the service guys at Zanottis about this also. They came back with an attachment that showed the complete rear fender assembly for a 2005 FLSTN/I "Heritage" Softail Nostalgia (Deluxe?). This showed all parts and part numbers. It also showed the same part number for the bolt (3767B) that the dealer was giving me. However, at also contained the part number for the 53462-05 STUD, rear seat mounting. This has to be the bad boy Im looking. I just can't figure out why the diagram in there "manual" doesn't match my 05 Softail Manual. The diagrams are identical except for the parts list. Of course no one in town has one on-hand so I'll have to order it. Thanks for the help, I appericate it.

53462-05 STUD

That's what you want. Checked in my 06 Parts Manual and it's the same part #
