Question K-Planes Bolt Length

I have a set of K-Planes that after redoing my transom needs some new bolts. The dealer told me the combo bolt that carries the oil only comes in 4-1/2" length. I need them 1" longer, any idea if this exist or if I have to have them custom made?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Actually they come in 5.5 and 6. Based on the price I assume the kit has 4 studs in it, but you know what happens when you assume. I sent an email to my rep to see what is in the kit.

Take a look at the bottom of the parts list.

Thanks a lot, highly appreciated. The local Machine Shop will make them for 1/4 of the price....... Why would they price a $5,- item for $100,- ?
