In fact, a 7/16" bolt has an 11mm diameter shank. I bought a 3" long sample of the same today, $0.70, and what I found was that it was an even better fit than the 27/64" drill bit. I cut off the threads and cut/filed a notch into the end of the shank. It fits nearly perfectly into the IP's timing bore, and doesn't need the nut slip collar that I was going to make. Even better. I made the notch a bit small to start with, then filed it open incrementally until it dropped snugly over the tab on the IP's camshaft. Let the timing begin!
