I was stripping down this bike to give it a good deep clean when I noticed that not only was the derailleur hanger grimy, it was loose. so I took it off to clean underneath the derailer hanger a good wipe down and then add some thread locker so the two-part bolt does not come loose.
Well, now I can’t find the threaded part. I still have the part that goes on the inside of the frame and I have the hanger.
Are those pretty uniform even though each hanger is unique? Would one of those bolts and caps to a different hangar work?
They look kind of like the ones you used to hold a chain ring on the spider, are those an alternative?

Yeah – they use chainring bolts – usually with a short nut. A bike shop should have one for you.
