$75 for reinforcment plate bolts and nuts?

I have starter on order as I identified the start up noise as starter disengaging to late. It'dsdefinitely not the TC guides as I've listened to quite a few noises of those.

I've read number of postings stating that bolts are one time use and have to be replaced since they stretch after initial torque. I've also read some postings that set costs about $30 which is not even close to current price.

Qty 6 - 31101096987 - bolts
Qty 6 - 33306760587 - nuts

Well, they're about $75 for 6 bolts and 6 nuts and that's about the best price out there. I was wondering if anybody has found high grade bolt that'd would do for less money.

I like to follow manufactures procedure but that's 50% cost of actual starter and while I'll buy them if I have to, I was wondering if there is a different solution.

Thanks in advance for any info.
