Source in USA for 4-inch length 316 stainless track bolts?

Anyone know where (in the USA or Europe) I could order 316 grade stainless
steel with the following specification?

 

1/4 - inch diameter

4 inch length

UNF threaded

Countersunk

 

I've pulled 9 bolts out of my mainsheet traveler that are Philips (not
slotted head) and are in this form factor. So I know they exist. I just
don't know where to get them replaced.

 

Here in Australia, I can only find slotted head bolts to this spec. Slotted
head bolts and I don't get along well together.

 

Manufacturers and distributors here in Australia tell me 'no one
manufactures such a thing'.

 

And while I'm wishing:

 

What I'd REALLY prefer would be this bolt (as above) but with an 'internal
hex' head so that I can use an Allen key to fit and remove.

 

Help!
