Tow hook bolts

Has anyone in Albq found the acme 5/8" x 8-tpi- threads per inch bolts, to attach bumpers on the smart car?
Yes, I know you can buy the smart tow hooks at the dealer, but then you would have to cut the hook off, drill & tread the cut off end.
I really want to put front & rear bumpers on the smart car.
I have called at least 50 bolt companys in the USA, with no luck.
I know at least one owner found some, as he installed his bumper, THAT WAS PULLING THE LITTLE TRAILER.
HELP !!!!
TOM

Thanks dunerunner,
but those are a little to pricey for me.
I need 4 bolts so the cost would be $88.90 plus shipping.
I just want a plain old steel bolt, with the ACME threads--5/8x8tpi.
Thanks Again
Tom
