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.

yeahh thats what happened to me, but i will put the little gasket that it need on top but i want make somenthing nice like i wrote before, so you thing that it is impossible to put other bolt there
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.
yeah but the thing also is that my head loss the thread at the beging its has at the end so i need to put bolt to the end of find one a little bit more large
