Making bolts for any critical application is not a recommended proceedure,
they will NOT !!!! be as strong as any factory bolt. Even if you are not
using them for a non-critical application, consider what could happen if, at
some later date they were taken off, put into your spares box and then
re-used in a critical use. Try the local Honda, Toyota, or other Japanese or
European auto parts suppliers.
good luck
