Yes. The bolt head on mine came fitted (snugged?) into the face of the cross bridge supporting both pivots and arms, the threaded shaft projecting rearward with enough length to extend almost through the fork crown. I never disassembled it to see if it is threaded through that plate or press fit. The long sleeve, small head nut going in from the back of the crown, a recess there permitting the head to seat fully below the surface, viewed from the side (use of the fender nut changes that). My picture has the fender nut still in place of the recessed nut. I was happier to use a daruma and have the mounting point supporting the fender farther forward.
