Most of those "metric" bolts you are using are coarse thread too.
Pretty hard to find the fine thread metrics at most hardware
stores -
and even a lot of "industrial supplies" - and some of the "coarse"
metrics are different than the coarse metrics used by the major
japanese and european auto manufacturers too -----.


I recently bought some 10.9 12mm x 1.25 mm extra fine bolts for my
Honda. Surprisingly they were cheaper from the dealer than the local
hardware store.

I think the answer to that will be: Quantity since Honda is buying a lot
more than your local hardware store.
