Alternator Tension bolt - replacement? 200

Hi folks, in the process of tensioning the alternator belt I got overzealous and broke the big long bolt that tensions the belt. Any ideas on finding a replacement? None of the Napa-type stores can find one in my area.

Once I get one, am I right in thinking you first tighten down the bolt that secures the alternator to this bolt, and then tighten the long bolt to increase tension? I couldn't figure it out.
