If the bolts are prone to getting damaged during removal I'd buy a new pair rather than get them from a scrapper and risk another one break. Can't believe they'd be that expensive from VX?

(but ready to be proved wrong!)

When I went to get some:
"I'm sorry sir, but you can only buy as part of coolant bridge"
"But, look, this is the part number on your EPC", pointing to his screen
"No, you need a new coolant bridge"
"Goodbye"

They are actually somthing i can make from scratch,  I was hoping they'd be a metric thread and that was i could have got a bolt the same size, drilled out the cntre then put the 4 holes along it's length.  

The only thread gauge i could get to fit was a 5/8 NPT (not many bolts in that size :) ) so i'd have had to make the entire bolt from scratch and as i only have about an hour before the boss gets into work on a morning i didn't have time so the breakers yard seems an easier option.
