Default Fixed camber bolts

Ok my brain is too tired to search anymore but awhile back I read about someone using fixed cambers bolts. I just can't find the post and figure out where to get some. For example like in the banski kit https://banskimotorsports.com/C4_Camber_Rods.html Sure I can call banski, but maybe they only wanna sell me the kit and I don't need the whole kit.

Also I'm sure someone may have made their own since it's just a bolt and two squares with a hole. I prefer to buy if reasonable but if anyone has some advice on making them I'm listening.

FYI I have a smart strut kit and the car will be set up for drag.

Banski sells the "fixed plate" and the bolt/nut I'd certainly think is an "off the shelf" item BUT I'd certainly use quality "prevailing torque" hardware. Is the VBP stuff set up for Metric spec hardware or SAE?

Is Banski's ask reasonable for the plate?

Yah not too bad for ordering Monday. Oh and the bolts were 1/2-20 4" grade 8(same as camber bolts thread size). The new camber bolts in my smart strut kit have grade 8 head markings and I know the torque spec is 187, but with the fixed plates I can't bring myself to go over the DRY torque spec for that size bolts of 120.
