Or else, the third option--buy them from Europe where they are common and
available.
I've got Gary Roys looking into it now for us--he works in high-end
manufacturing and tooling for a company that's based in Germany, and he's putting
his German counterpart on the case for us. :>)
The front bolts are M12 x 1.25 x 35; the rear bolts (except for GT5-era
cars) are M12 x 1.5 x 35.
Each car would need four of each bolt, of course.
Stand by for a more realistic quote...:>)
