My hunch on the bolt is it holds the plunger in....just a SWAG.

Okay, thanks. So, if this one isn't original, do you know what the correct bore depth for power brakes should be? If it was replaced before with a different type, I just want to be sure the new one is correct. The new and old both measure about 1 3/4" from deepest point back to rear edge of bore. Thanks again.
