    I'm not seeing many options for one unless I want to pay $10 in shipping for a tiny bolt

    Any other ideas or link to a place you have found without killing me in shipping?

    TIA

    Yeah, buying onesy-twosy stuff is always problematic as shipping costs often exceed the cost of the parts! If Amazon or fleabay doesn't have it for reasonable total price, best bet is local dealership if you have one.

    For general fasteners (if you know the thread/grade of steel, etc.) one has a lot more options - Fastenal, Grainger, McMaster (my favorite), etc. However, that serrated torx head in the ebay photo looks like a Toyota unique item. And, even if it can be found elesewhere, how much of your time do you want to spend looking for it versus spending the $5 with that ebay seller.
