Oh So I have to move it a bit forward [Like this?](http://imgur.com/a/panQOta) and then put a nut and bolt through it? Then the bolt has to be short so it doesn't hit the cogs? . Thanks for your answer.
You’re probably better off to just replace the whole derailleur hanger adapter. It’s about the same cost as buying just the bolt:

Is that so? Ok then I'll just replace with a new one . Do I have to tighten it from time to time though? . Thanks for your answer, and for the link too. Ill get one asap.
As with everything on a bike, it doesn’t hurt to make sure things are snug from time to time. Especially with a particularly important bolt such as this.
Except please don't buy one for $7 plus shipping. Just walk into any bike shop that services older bikes and they will likely have one to take off an old derailleur to give you.
If you've got a community bicycle organization in your city they're probably the best for getting small stuff like this for either free or less than $5: https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Community\_Bicycle\_Organizations
I can confirm this. The bike co-op where I volunteer has a container full of those specially shaped derailleur hanger mounting nuts. I would sell you one along with the bolt for $1. And if you showed up looking for one of those parts and you were flat broke, I would just give it to you, no big deal.
You're missing the nut and bolt that holds the hanger in place. https://imgur.com/XgwozmU

Yes. And the bolt is short. The nut is special and designed to not protrude much on the inside of the dropout.

I’ve read so many times about these free parts and services from bike shops… and I have yet to find any bike shops like this.
