I have tried this in the past and even went to a local metric bolt company, and no luck. The difference is in the head. It has a screw type head, and other than bolts, have had no luck. Maybe the people on the list could combine to figure this out. At the dealer they are over $1 apiece, and there are 20 something on the van....... I am putting on the vanagonlist as well
