Hi Hakan,
I think M recalls the size correctly!

You might contact DUB to see if he has some of his specially made bolts he can send you.
"I have a friend who is a machinist who makes me new bolts for the wiper door.
In Alans photo above...you can see how the shaft where the threads STOP is actually a smaller diameter than the threaded area. When my machinist does them the threads are just like a bolt and stay consistent all the way to the shoulder of the bolt. SO I can put some torque on them and NOT fear that they will snap. I do not go crazy with torquing them...it is just so I do not have to worry."

Thanks Mooser and Alan, I start by trying to get out the broken piece and install helicoil repair tread. Not so easy to find 10-24 UNC in a Metric standard country like Sweden.
