Crankcase Bolt Source?

Can someone point me towards an easy source for engine bolts for an Lycoming O-320? I just need as few individual bolts and don't need the whole bolt kit.

Nose Gear question

Since the 6A sits kinda nose up does it share the same length nose gear strut as the 7A and 9A?

Does the 6A have an updated 1 1/4" thick nose strut?
