Rear trailing arm bush bolts.

HI All,I'm looking to replace the bushes on the rear trailing arms on my DG '85.

I've looked on the VW Heritage site and the bolts are £7 a piece which is considerable!.Does anyone know if they're just a standard size bolt or is there a reason for the high price?,many thanks,DeeGee :ok
