I found one at my local German Auto repair shop. They searched through a few random parts bins and found one for me. Free of charge too. Got some crush washers from a local hydraulic shop, who I figured would have the bolt, but they didn't have the right size.

I really wasn't torque-ing it too hard. Just snugging it down. Snapped right where the cross holes are. The threaded portion was still in the housing and spun right out. Got lucky on this one I guess.

Thank you all for the suggestions and help. My next stop was the junk yard.
I can only imagine trying to drill a grade 8 bolt. HA, have to video tape that one and edit out all the bleeps!
