Did Timing Belt got extra bolt

[alumarine]

Just changed my timing belt and water pump.

Ended up with an extra bolt.

I think I know where it's from and I did cut down a longer bolt to replace it.

Just want to confirm what I think and make sure it's accounted for.

It's 3/8" long. 4mm I think with a 10mm head.

Where do you guys think it's from?

Looks like it may be from alt or p/s or other belt components.

Secures the bracket for the wire loom that was in the way when you removed the lower timing cover.

Thank you sir, I think you nailed it.

I found it in my pants pocket after it was back together.
I did cut down a longer bolt and used it for the loom.

I took it apart 3 weeks ago and didn't remember if it was that short.

I found a very similar bolt flopping around in my timing cover area. Do you have a exploded diagram to where that goes?

Thanks

My vote is wire loom bolt also.

If the bolt head/washer is clean, it's from the plate that goes before the cam pulleys that the plastic timing cover bolts to.

If it's corroded like it's been exposed to the elements for a bit, it's one of the 2 bolts that hold the harness bracket onto the oil pump just behind the crank pulley.
