Are they readily available still? or are these the ones you can't get no more?

Just get some high tensile 12.9 allen caps instead - Much easier when it comes to removing them then

bzp? do you mean Bright Zinc Plated?

I am willing to pay but I have heard not to replace certain bolts with Stainless as they are too brittle.....

To clarify, I wouldnt recommend stainless i am no expert but i would imagine they would probably fail. The 12.9 is a High tensile steel fastener to BS and yes Bright zinc plated.
