Default 914 Rear Caliper Through Bolts

Two of my 7mm RIBE bolts, for bolting the caliper halves together, were damaged. one 45/50mm and one 59/60mm in length. I have looked for Allen cap screws to replace with, found only one source on ebay at $17 each, and if I replace two to allen, I should replace all 8. Does anyone know a source of the original bolts or a lesser expensive substitute?

p.s. on an existing thread, I found a note about drilling out the bolt and head holes, leaving this as a last resort.

if you cannot repair your bolts nor find any we sell them used, if need be. DO NOT DRILL OUT THE HOLES!!!!
