Need bolt size

Thinking of removing the air control valve for the power steering on my '99 and replacing it with a bolt. Per my research the bolt is 14mx1.5 but it did not specify the length of the bolt needed. Can someone please tell me the length I need? I don't want to remove the Valve and can't find the right bolt. Thanks for the help.

Least for me when i had bolts get damaged i always had to go back to dealer. Never could find anything close at a regular hardware or auto store. Try a junk yard too.

get a drain plug bolt in the right thread diameter/pitch and you should be off fine. Nothing that looks obviously too deep, "regular" drain plug size.
