Default Countersunk bolts needed.

I need a countersunk bolt for my wilwood brakes. The one they supply is 1/2-20x3 inches. I need one 4.5 inches long. Anyplace on the internet carry these types of bolts. I am going to call Wilwood on Monday to see if they have them, but want a place in case they won't have them.

That has exactly what I need but in course thread. I need it 4 1/2 inches long and I haven't found it in fine thread. I may just get the course thread if Wilwood dosen't have them.

If McMaster-Carr doesn't carry it, you're probably looking at a special application bolt. Fastenal seems to carry more of the specialty stuff. Beyond that, I'm not sure else where to look besides Wilwood or another special application job (any other brake mfg's that may use the same hardware but longer?) since it's probably a custom made part. Hopefully they've got a longer one!
