Looked into this locally for you and the best that my supplier can do is M12 x 1.25 x 70mm in an 8.8 metric or M12 x 1.75 x 70mm in a 10.9. Hopefully you find something that works. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

The difference in pull-out and fatique strength is not significant enough for you to worry about. There is plenty of safety factor in that original bolt selection by the mfg.

You could always drill out the holes and move up to a 9/16 fine thread US Grade 8 bolt. That would be closer to 14mm diameter. If you're worried about pull out on the threads, double nut it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> that should net more overall pull out strength then the single fine thread nut.
