You can make a pilot stud out of a bolt with just enough thread to bottom out in the hole and just enough shank to pilot along. Yet, just how much shank is enough depends on how much working room you need to reach that spring.

To make the pilot stud from the appropriate bolt:

1) cut the hex head off with a hacksaw

2) square up the cut end with a file

3) chamfer the end with a file

4) cut a screwdriver slot in that end with a hacksaw

Make sense?
