I just picked them up at the local OSH hardware store. The longest they had were M8x90, but those worked fine for my MFE.

I'll assume you are talking about the MFE bolts for the first generation MINIs. I found a pair at a local place called "Tacoma Screw" (I live in Seattle). You'll probably need to call up or go to a specialty store like that- even a good "hardware" store probably won't carry them. There must be somebody who specializes in just bolts in your area.

If you are super desperate I will put my two in a box or tiny mailing envelope and send them to you. They were only about a $1.50 for the pair.

Try a true-value/mom and pop hardware store...
They usually have racks of bolts/nuts....just a few cents....
