6mm head studs Needed (~114mm long)

Where can I buy 4 new replacement head studs? I'd prefer all thread, and I don't want to fill/redrill to another dimension.

Fastenal, or something like "XXXXXX" Screw will carry all thread. Check the web/phone book.

You can also get it delivered straight to your house from McMaster-Carr

Here's the catalog page for the 8.8 grade metric stuff:
McMaster-Carr

You'll have to cut it to length, but for a 1 meter rod, its around $2.

Stainless is not ideal, but it will work fine. It's not like you are running 16:1 compression ratio and torquing to 2500 ft-lbs.
