Hey, Mike.
Based off what your describing it sounds like you have a multi-fit coupler. We don't have just the bolt by itself but there are repair kits, part # T4045400. There's not that many couplers that are like this so not too common. A more common type of coupler latch would be part # CT-3000-RK.
Below are pictures of a multi-fit coupler and a standard type of coupler.
Are there any other projects you're working on, on your trailer?

Hi Mike the kit i used was the Latch Repair Kit for Dexter Multi-Fit Couplers and Brake Actuators Part Number: T4045400. Evrything worked perfectly, as Fred stated below just replace the whole works, does not take long and everything will work smoother.
