Model this assembly. Remember to create the three parts separately before putting them together in an assembly file. The bolt head with the hexagonal head can be simplified by making a cylinder. NV = 22 [mm] is the length from edge to edge (not corner to corner). The M14-specifications can be found by a simple google-search. You may also simply define the outter thread dimensions to 14mm. Make sure that the bolt will fit into the hole of the bottom block.

Bottom block dimensions: 50 x 70 x 25 [mm]

Model this geometry by using sketch & extrude. You can use a datum plane to position the M12-hole using the Hole-tool.
