Hunting For KZ750-B1 Cylinder Head Bolts

We can't find them anywhere except for a couple sketchy hand-written eBay bags. Does anyone know where we can buy some of these? Don't want to try any others because this one snapped even with a torque wrench. :pinch:
Part #: 92003-159 / BOLT, HEX HEAD, 6X34
We've been told not to use ones from the hardware store because they're not designed for engine applications and high heat.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!!

these are the small bolts that face up (in other words, upside down) and pull the cylinder head down onto the cylinder. They are in the front (just 1 if memory serves) and 2 on the back of the cylinder, under the carbs.
it's been a while since i've worked on this bike, so i don't remember where to find the fiche.

for $.18 each
Don't forget those little bolts are tightened in inch lbs,not foot lbs.
Normally Id just put a little blue lock tite on them and snug them up with a 1/4 drive so you don't over tighten them

snugging up sounds fine on a regular fastener bolt, but since we took the top end off to prevent any more oil from leaking out around the main gasket, i'm gonna want to tighten it down to spec.

Understood, but at least they will work as well as the originals. The problem with hardware store bolts is that you don't know which province in China they came from or the blend of pot metal they contain. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
