Unless you're buying one bolt, $2.50 each is ridiculous. #12-24 x 3/4 is a
strange size to use however they are not difficult to find at hardware
suppliers and are typically <$0.50 each. You can even buy them on Amazon:

Those bolts do seem to be a bit hard to find.
According to Fastenal's website, they have them in stainless
socket head cap screws for around $2.50 apiece. And they say
there is no inflation.
I wonder if there is enough material present to drill them out and tap
them for 1/4", you can get this size bolt anywhere and cheaply.
