I'm looking for the bolt part no 0307226. They are listed as unavailable. I'm in New Zealand. Can anyone help

Unfortunately that part has been discontinued. You may need to have one fabricated.

Thanks for that, Is it true that this part is manufactured from mild steel and not stainless steel. Due to the fact that mild steel has a better shear factor ?

That I am uncertain on the shear factor.
