I have tried this in the past and even went to a local metric bolt company,
and no luck.  The difference is in the head.  It has a screw type head, and
other than bolts, have had no luck.

Maybe the people on the list could combine to figure this out.  At the
dealer they are over $1 apiece, and there are 20 something on the van.......

I am putting on the vanagonlist as well
