The big problem is you have all metric, so you may need to look around to find them. Always use grade 8. But you can pick them up anywhere.

Home Depot = Chinese junk.

Look on Craigslist or eBay, you can find coffee cans of metric nuts and bolts of assorted sizes leftover from car projects.

You could try an auto scrap yard. Most of those guys have buckets of hardware about.

Thats true. The recyclers will sell you a 5 gallon bucket full.

way too expensive - just go to a upullit yard and pull bolts from any japanese or other import car or truck that is the size and thread you need. If you what to make sure a bolt has the right thread as the one you need and you have one, just lay the one bolt's threads in the threads of another bolt - if the mesh, they are the same thread.
