Take VC bolt to a nut & bolt store, tell em you need all thread or a stud with that pitch/TPI at "x" length.

If you have a Y8, you can't use anything that's not stock. It's a special bolt with a gasket on it. You could make something ghetto that would work, but chances of them having a bolt that long that has that fine of a thread pitch (M6x10 IIRC) is close to zero. You'd have to use threadstock, an acorn nut, gasket, and a washer. Ghetto.

You broke it because you over torqued it, not because it's a weak bolt. They're only supposed to be torqued down like 12lb/ft. That's barely a quarter turn past hand tight.

I think it's near impossible to find a proper bolt. If you want them to look nice, get all brand new stock ones. They'll have that perfect army green Honda bolt finish.
