Of course it doesn't. Honda just know they've got European owners by the balls. Perhaps it would be a good idea to approach a bolt manufacturer to see if they could assist the community and make a few quid in the process.

They will be a specific grade of steel, specific shank length and thread length, possibly hand made rather than CNC, I'm not saying it's a fair price but defiantly different from some made from cheap Chinese or Indian steel knocked out with no quality control.

On a custom one off car perhaps - but surely not on a mass produced car?
There are a couple of bolt people I can think of:
Namrick in Hove
Clerkenwell Screws
