1150 ADVENTURE OEM engine bar bolts query

[Michael R1150GS Adventure]

Anyone know where I can get hold of the four flanged bolts that connect the lower V sections to the upper sections - the two flanged bolts each side that go into the tapped overlapping joint?

Cheers in advance of any welcome advice.

PS - this is asked in the smuggest way possible.

PPS - I did ask BMW years ago but they were soooooooooo expensive I nearly shat on the counter floor, on the spot.

I've bought loads of A2 & A4 stainless nuts, bolts, capheads, buttonheads & flanged bolts from a seller called bolt-world on eBay. If they don't have them just put the dimensions into the eBay search bar, I'm sure you'll find them and at a reasonable price

Edit:
PS Be careful if you choose stainless as they have a different tensile strength to high tensile bolts (not sure if the engine bolts you want are HT or not).

There is a shop called AHC in Camberley who do mail order. They have never failed me and I've gone in for some pretty random stuff over the years, worth a shout.

BMW use mostly standard iso metric course threads

So

M6 x 1.00 ( which is Metric 6mm diameter x 1mm distance between threads)
M8 x 1.25
M10 x 1.5

You need to work out the diameter of fastener that you need.
