Broke my idler pulley bolt... Need Help

Hey,
So tonight i was changing my brothers drive belt, and i broke the tension adjustment bolt. I removed the old belt, upon install of the new belt i noticed it was really loose. So i just started tightening it, but itjust kept turning without adding any tension to the belt. Turns out Checker gave me the wrong belt and it looked about 3 inches too long. i bent the the bolt and when i tried to loosen the bolt it just snapped... Now i need a new one. Can anyone tell me where i could buy one? The local junk yards dont have any maximas. Can i get it from nissan? What would i ask them for?

If you need a quick fix. Cut off the eye part of the bolt. Reassemble everything. Then use a pry bar to tension the belt by placing the end of the pry bar on the lip of the pulley and use the unibody as a lever point. Ive had to do this a few times. Its really hard to get it tensioned right and will most likely squeak a lot, but she will run.
