I bought some stainless steel Allen cap bolts at Lowe’s and/or Home Depot. Needless to say, they are metric. I don’t remember the sizes. Do you have a tap and die set? I bought a complete tap and die set at Harbor Freight. I bought the 60 piece set for $36.99, part number 35407. You can use the tap and die to determine the thread. There is a handle/rod in the kit that you can use to find the length. I started replacing all the bolts on my Hawk with stainless steel Allen cap bolts. Don’t forget to use thread loc.
