LOL it's an easy swap and it worked great on my 84 300D. You can buy them in a lot of places. Mine is listed at $40 at autohausaz.com - don't know what kind of car you have. They don't show it as a "rack damper bolt" - instead you have to pick your car, go to the fuel & air link, then choose the nuts/bolts/screws/washers section and it will be there if they have it. Or you can keyword search for "bolt" and it will be in the list somewhere. They call mine "Adjustment Bolt at Rear of Injection Pump" and it's part number 1420560014 but your may be different depending on car/engine. Here are some pix:
