I goofed and broke a bolt ^_^

The part # 92153 / 92153-1826 / BOLT, FLANGED but it's backordered for months according to multiple dealerships.

Any clue where I can find a bolt that starts M10 but the threads are M6 in the GTA?

Take the broken bolt, or a matching one, to a Fastenal or Brafasco? They might have something.
That does seem like a very specific bolt though...

Oshawa Cycle Salvage, maybe?

It's not GTA, but Pro-Bolt may also have something. Search by your specific model/year.

edit:
This might be the pro-bolt kit that you want, in fancy titanium:

... if I read this right; you have a shouldered bolt with a 10mm shaft, that necks down to a M6 thread?
That would be a dealer item, ONLY available at a dealer. It's an OEM part.
is it the bolt to hold the caliper on? A 6mm to hold a caliper doesn't sound right to me....but if that is so,
Take a 6mm bolt and add a 10mm OD sleeve.
Only half of your screen shot shows up, what bike is this for?

I drilled it out of the sleeve (p/n 42036). It's like M10 all the way and at the very end it is M6 threads

I found this as a temporary measure


But it's gonna be really loose in the sleeve >.>

If you have no other options I see two listed on eBay. Would be about x3 the normal cost, but that's still not terrible
 
What are you measuring that is M10? The smooth shaft of the bolt, or the size of the head? M10 or M6 refer to the dimensions of the threaded portion. The size of the head isn't really important (you can use a washer if you can't find a flanged bolt), and the size of the wrench you use is irrelevant.

I used a digital caliper and measured the diameter of the hole of the brake caliper (~10mm) and then the diameter of the hole on the end it threads into (~6 mm)

But eBay says it is just a bolt

Yeah, it's just an regular bolt with a smooth section, there's no stepped down portion. Your calipers just can't measure the inside of the threaded female hole accurately. If you want to be sure, take it to Home Depot and use their little nut/bolt sizer thing in the hardware aisle.

The shank diameter on metric bolts is approximately the same as the outer thread diameter: Metric Bolt Measuring Guide | How to measure a Fastener | Pro-Bolt

edit: If you just measured the smooth hole in the caliper then you're measuring the diameter that the spacer takes up. The bolt will naturally be smaller than that. In any case, measure the bolt, not the holes

No look at this hole, it's definitely not M10

Yeah, I edited my post after I re-read your explanation of what you measured. It's probably just a regular M6
 
For those asking, I believe the bolt mounts the rear caliper to the carrier, through a metal sleeve with a rubber surround, hence the long unthreaded portion. The sleeve lets the caliper stay centred on the disc as the pads wear.

According to the fiche you shared, that bolt should thread directly into the carrier. Is that photo after you drilled it out, hence all the shavings?

Considering it's a braking system part, I wouldn't personally risk on anything except an OEM item for anything more than a short time. Overly cautious? Definitely, but brakes are one spot I don't take chances on. Different metals have different elongation under torque, different heat tolerance, flexural capacity, vibration tolerances etc. Taking a similarly shaped but harder (and likely more brittle) bolt from a fastener supply will probably work, but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way that it didn't...

Aside from the eBay listings, there's one shop I found showing a 1-2 day lead time for shipping (usually when they say 4-8 days, it just means they don't have it and are making a best guess for delivery from the supplier). Might be worth reaching out to confirm they actually have stock:

If they have stock, maybe they have a few other bits you need that can soften the shipping cost?

If you stuck a caliper into a threaded hole to measure it, you measured the "lesser" diameter, the diameter at the BOTTOM or root of the thread of the bolt.
The "lesser" diameter of a M8 is around 6mm
