It has to be a carriage bolt a standard bolt is too thick against the wall of the liner.

Went back to ACE and got a slotted carriage bolt . I will send a picture when I go back outside.

Jared,
What about using a "threaded rivet"...?
Has a smooth round head but no square section on the threads below the head...

That could work possibly as well.  I found just a slotted bolt had a much thinner head rather than a standard bolt.
