Ace hardware, Babes Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, Autozone misc bolt department, True Value, NAPA autoparts bolt section.
This isn't a custom made piece. It's a damn bolt. Probably 8 or 10mm fine pitch. Remove a good bolt, cruise to a store, and get a new one.
Chances are they'll have different sized heads. Be like me and replace all 10 of them so you don't have to switch wrenches 1/2 way through removing the valve cover next time.

if you want the stock bolts, the ka24E or DE are interchangeable though slightly different in appearance.
I have like 20 of them at my house but I'm in Texas right now.
Some jackass stripped out all the theads in my head and I had to retap it, and for some reason it didn't take the new thread either (I think I didn't drill out the holes large enough) so when I get home I'll probably have to go with a larger bolt.
