If it's a regular pinch bolt, you can find Taiwanese units from any shop who has a QBP catalog and orders from them, typically come in 2 lengths so pick the size you need.
I'm pretty sure loose screws has some of the "no name" ones for a couple bucks. Knowing the appropriate length can be critical. Some come in 17 mm lengths, while others in 22 mm, and quite possibly others could have been used as well.
