Bolt Replacement for Thule Roadway that Secures Hitch Adapter to Shank

Question

Question:

Good day. I bought a used Thule Roadway 2 hitch mount bike rack. I need to put on the 2 inch adapter. The bolt is missing. Do you sell a replacement? Product number is: TH912XTR. I think this is it: 852-3136-001 Please confirm. Thanks,
