Default Front Engine Mount Torque Bracket Bolts

I have a 2006 Stratus SXT with 2.4L engine.

I am looking for the four bolts which attach the front engine mount torque reaction bracket to the structural collar and engine. Apparently three of the bolts vibrated out and the fourth bolt broke off. There are two long bolts about 12 - 15 cm long with 12mm threads at 1.75 mm pitch, and two short bolts about 2 - 3 cm long and smaller diameter, maybe 10mm.

The local Dodge/Chrysler dealer told me these bolts are no longer manufactured and are listed as "not available" in his parts book. I would settle for used bolts from a wrecked or salvaged car, but the dealers I have contacted don't have any compatible cars on the lot. I would really rather have new ones anyway.

Does anybody know where I can get the specialty bolts, new or used? Thanks!

I found some bolts that work at a local "Nut n Bolt Shop", for $2.50. Not an exact match, but they have the proper threads at least, and are grade 10.9. Some are longer than the originals, and I had to use several washers as spacers, and some Loctite on the threads (the Loctite and washers cost about 3 times as much as the bolts). I'll watch closely for a while to make sure everything stays tight. The bolt heads are socket type, or Allen type instead of hex head, but I happen to have the right size Allen wrenches.
