any hardware store or home improvement store should have a selection of them.

the higher the number on the head, the stronger it is. 8.8 is usually a good number. is there any wear on the bolt? was it loose? it might have let the shock move around and wobbled out the hole. the good thing about the hardware store is that you can grab a couple different sizes, cheap. 11mm is roughly 7/16, 13 mm is 1/2. nothing matches with 12mm. i'd grab a 12 and a 1/2.
