We sell those bolts for under $10 Canadian a piece, around $6 US.  I guess
they aren't cheap, but in relative terms of upkeep/maintenance/modification
a small cost to make sure your wheels stay on....

Jouko,


The problem is not usually availability but price. At $10-$14 each bolt from
the VW dealer, that can be a lot of money even if you only need it for the
front wheels of your 2WD.
