03' VY S (V6) Sedan rear subframe outer bush bolt - m14x1.5 x 277mm

Replacing the outer bushes on the diff cradle/rear subframe/cross member today and found the bolts are a stretch bolt, or at least this bolt has been stretched by whoever replaced these mounts last.
im finding it impossible to find this bolt from holden or anywhere that sells bolts, if anyone has any idea where, would sell a similar or exact bolt or makes custom bolts without having to buy hundreds of them would be greatly appreciated.

anywhere that sells bolts
277mm sounds waaay too long. Are you actually looking for one at that exact length or are you going for close enough? Because realistically nowhere is going to sell a bolt that is exactly 277mm long (or even 177mm long) off the shelf.

Do the screw back in? Most people just end up reusing them for this reason.

You can get bolts made as well.

It's easy enough to cut down a more standard sized bolt yourself too as long as it's actually cut straight and you chamfer the first thread a bit.
