Reasonably Priced Bolts? was created by Yamdog

Does anyone know of a source for reasonably priced unmarked vintage enduro bolts?  I figure if someone is going to restore a bike, they will need to replace most of the bolts which have likely rusted.   Hardware store bolts are available but are marked and don't look vintage.   Some of the Yamaha OEM bolts are available but are expensive, especially when shipping is added in.  

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

Motodad24...  now "Enduring Cycles" on ebay has very nice hardware kits for specific purposes as well as nuts and bolts.

Another option many use is cleaning and re-plating original bolts.  Scootern29 has a nice write up of the process.

I checked out Motodad's ebay listings and that's what I was looking for.    Thanks!
