I would think you could get one easy on ebay USA , the nut and bolt are not metric,
 their are plenty of allen key bolts and nuts on the bay, it's only a black oxided nut and bolt and the nut is just a regular plain nut nothing special.

   Japan (where Dia Compe are HQ'd) has used the metric system for over a hundred years. You are looking for an M6 x 15mm black oxide socket head screw and nut. Thread pitch doesn't matter as long as they are both the same! A 5mm allen key will fit just fine.  :)

  I have seen a lot of Japanese parts here in the US that have had Imperial/Standard parts etc forced onto them! Metric parts aren't easy to find here.
