I don't know of another source for this bolt.
It's basically a grade 5 equiv, but the grip length is odd and the
threaded portion is fairly short. I suspect that an AN6 bolt could be
substituted, but I've never tried it.
They also use a nylon insert nut (elastic stop nut) that's a tad shorter
than a full height AN6 nut - but it's taller than a half-height AN6 nut.
Go figure.
$24 is a lot less than the damage you'll get if the bolts fail and your
axles start flailing around.
