Default LT500 axle bolt not made anymore

Hey zilla boys,
I just tried to order a set of four bolts/nuts for my rear axle on my '90 500. Well, I got both small diameter ones (the long one and short one) that go on the "passenger's" side, and then I only got the smaller of the big bolts, or the ones that go on the chain side. The longer of the big bolts Suzuki does NOT make anymore. So I'm stuck. Does anyone have a source for the larger bolt? I can't find any that are long enough and the right diameter at the auto shop, and of the ones that do fit snugly in the hole, they can't get them that long, and it's not just that shop (Napa.) I've tried Ace and Do It Best and Littrel's. Are they made especially by Suzuki? Or is there a bolt company on the 'net that has metric bolts I can get them from?

Also, do you guys know of a good pipe/silencer clamp (I have a Bill's pipe/sil setup) so I don't have exhuast leaking between the pipe and silencer?

Thanks,
superkev
