Default transmission housing bolts

does anyone know where I can obtain the (3) transmission housing bolts for a b18a1. They are hex/flange 12mm bolts. They are 70 mm long with a fine thread pitch of 1.25. I can not get them from my Acura dealer nor any online store. I have checked the online bolt jobbers but the 1.25 thread starts at a width greater than 12mm.
Has anyone run into this situation before? There they are... right in my manual picture listed as "transmission housing bolts".
I have found the auxillary housing 12mm bolts at the 50mm, 60mm, and 65mm lengths. I located them in various engine mount details from other engine parts diagrams. The 12mm x 50mm bolts I found at a 1994 GSR block diagram. I found the 60mm length using the 1991 LS engine mount diagram. I found the 65mm length using a 1996 integra engine mount parts diagram.
So where are these 70mm length 12mm housing bolts??? haha.
Thanks, all ideas will be appreciated. RFT

what do ya know?? I hunkered down in the u-pull-it and scavenged bolts from all sorts of tranny housings. I returned with two different lengths:
65mm and 70 mm. So I cleaned and brushed and sanded them. Ready for install. I now have the top tranny bolts and the underneath block fastners. Thanks to all who brainstormed. Who'da thunked it?? haha.
The junkman gave me the bolts gratis. What a day.
