Default Metal casting

I need to either make some small metal bolts myself or have them cast.
Does
anyone know of a cheap way to do it my self, with green sand? or RTV? or
know of a place that could do it?

Here's a pic of what I need to make, the bolt on the left. It's cast is
some sort of white metal, maybe some brass content.

Those look like sled runner bolts. They can be fabricated from ordinary
carriage bolts by forging the head in a shaped hardy-hole. You needn't cast
new ones.
