I went through this exercise and could only find Astro Developments bolts and ended up buying those . I bought all four but really there is nothng wrong with the stock Azi bolts and I could have paid alittle less for shipping with juyst the Alt bolts
(they are expensive for bolts, but the shipping charges were less than $20 AUD). If you have only bent one, you could try getting SKywatcher replacements through one of the dealers (Bintel or ANdrews, etc and it would help if you bought it from them). Alternatively, there are online bolt sellers (Nut Bolts and Screws Online is one) where you might find the correct length and thread - but it won't have the fancy toggle handle on the end.
The Astro Development Alt bolts feature a ratchet on one of them and that is useful for improving clearance at some latitude settings.
