Default need gear ring bolt

So I ended up going from 4.11 to 3.42 gears. During the change, the shop found one of the bolts for the gear ring destroyed. Where can I find a replacement for this? I looked on ebay but I have no clue which one I need.

If you're talking about the 7.5/7.625 10 bolt in your Trans Am,they are LEFT HAND thread 7/16-20.

They are sold in sets of ten,I've never seen individual bolts for sale.
Summit,Jegs,and all the aftermarket gear suppliers have them.

If the shop doing the work is not knnwledgeable about GM 7.5/7.625/8.5 10 bolts,they might have destroyed the bolt,not realizing it was LEFT HAND thread,by trying to remove it as a normal bolt.

It's possible.. But I've found a lot of bolts throughout the car that were under torqued and or damaged due to over torque.. So I wouldn't be surprised if the original owner did his own work or used a terrible mechanic.
