Cb360 Rotor Setting Bolt

So, in the process of torquing down the rotor to spec (23lbs) the rotor setting bolt on my 360 decided to snap mid shaft.

I've removed the broken bolt and am now in the process of finding a replacement.

Can anyone confirm other CB models that have the same rotor setting bolt? Or suggest where I might find a replacement?

All of the OEM parts fiches I've looked at say they're out of stock. Found one overseas in the UK but they want 27 euros just for shipping (on a bolt!!!).

Suggestions are much appreciated.

Measure the thread dia and pitch, then look through your local metric bolt suppliers bins. You will find a bolt there, then cut to the correct length if necessary. Then use a hardened flat washer of the correct dia.
 
Thanks for the link. Can anyone else pitch I their thoughts on replacing the bolt with a standard bolt and washer set up? Normally I'd do exactly as suggested and measure pitch and diameter and just replace from the hardware store but this seems like a critical fastener. I'm a little hesitant to put just any bolt and washer into the engine.

I'm probably just paranoid.
