Bodywork fixing - alternatives

[Aeschere]

Now that the bike is running again I can concentrate on some other jobs that need fixing. One of those jobs is to replace the sawn off screws of the bodywork fixing. I took a look over at

http://www.worldoftriumph.com/triumph_motorcycle_parts_locator.php?block_01=&block_02=100058863-0-2&block_03=23773

and was quite surprised to see that the price of the part A bolts are almost 7 pounds a piece(!). Since I need to replace all of the bolts that connect the bodywork to the gastank I will need 10 of them, including a replacement washer. Add in a replacement top bolt for the fuel tank and I am reaching a price tag of 110 pounds. For just a few bolts it seems a tad to much. Do you know of any alternatives that have a friendlier price? Off course I can just go to the local hardware store and get some bolts but they don't look as fancy.

Thanks in advance!

Black stainless M6 x 20mm with 1/2" tap washers for the tank/fairing bolts?

The beauty of using the Allen set screws is you are able to tighten without putting a rotational force on the insert, so all you do is apply lots of Coppaslip, insert the set screw finger tight into the tank, then tighten the nut whilst holding the set screw still with the allen key ( like oldy worldy tappets). I have a loose insert, and have been able to remove the tank numerous times without any fear....

I bought this set from Kevin:

They work fine and the big ones look like the Triumph ones. (They are a bit lighter and get damaged a bit easier, but they work fine and are a fraction of the cost of the Triumph ones.) See the pictures in my radiator replacement topic to see them on my Steamer.
