Default Snapped yoke bolt...need new one

I was replacing my pinion seal and snapped a yoke bolt off when reinstalling everything. Is there a website that I can order a new set from? I'm going to drive it until I get a new one but I will take it VERY easy with only 3 holding my driveshaft on.

Truer words have rarely been spoken. Obviously the OP doesn't like his car or life very much.

This car is my only means of transportation so I have to dive it. I called a local parts store and got replacement bolts and an “easy out” set which I will be doing later today. The car drives fine with the three bolts, no vibrations or anything and I check the remaining bolts after each trip. If I had another car I would have drove it but you have to do what you have to do.
