I tried my local crappy tire and UAP but they are both like, WTF?  So, any direction to a parts place with these here would be great or else its gonna have to be $$$ ordered from the states....yuck.  Thanks.

Take Mark's advice on this. It will be more expensive, but a more 
precision fit. A poor fit = a stripped bolt, especially on old ones. 
Also, if the old bolts are rusty, corroded or otherwise crusty, get new 
ones.  The extra cost of the Snap On tool and new bolts is worth it when 
compared to the time you will spend removing stripped bolts.
