In the meantime get an M10 50mm galvanized (not zink plated or stainless steel) bolt & plumbing teflon tape. Some info 3/4 down the page of this thread:

The middle bolt has also broken, info a 1/3 down this page:

I've also had a problem at the front so packed between the bracket & extrusion with some 1mm teflon sheet, tight fit with a hammer & block of wood. You can just see a hint of the edge of the teflon at the end of the extrusion. It helped stop squeaking.

I broke one of these - got a replacement from my local Land rover dealer ship.
I think they are called castle nuts. Were about £1 each.
