Pretty much any good bolt place should have them
Just to name one or two
Global Metric
Global Metrics Inc (Metric Fasteners Center*)
519 Marine View St # J
Belmont, CA 94002-2568(San Francisco, CA Metro Area)
Phone: (650) 592-2722

I believe they are M6 x 12 They have them in black oxide ( I have mine plated in yellow zinc ) they ave the clear zinc ( sliver colored in M6 x 10 only not the 12mm)
I have both, but used the M12 ones ....
There is also a place on the east coast you could try Bel Metric, they have a boat load of stuff.
They are called cap head's ...
Hope that helps
Regards
Ed

Ed,
I just found and ordered the screws from McMaster-Carr:

M6 x 12

It's hard to tell from that drawing, but they may be tapered slightly differently .. I don't think that should be an issue though....
You will have enough for two cars and then some ...
I don't know whether to tell you to get the 8.8 or the 10.9 hardness Only the 8.8 are zinc plated, and my guess is that they are clear(silver zinc ?). I assume you already pulled the old screws out ?
Best regards
Ed

Yes, the old screws are out and the heads are pretty rusty.

Their out ???!! I didn't hear any cursing! How could that be ?
You must be either a very lucky man or master with the tools
There was approx a tube of loctite in each of my screw holes
Good luck

They were snug, but they all came out with deliberate pressure. T-27 Torx, and a 1/4" ratchet. And yes, they all have the white-ish threadlock coating.
