rare JDM wheels spare parts
so i'm in the middle of tearing down my Stich Mesh III's to have them powder coated (gloss black lips, satin black centres and barrels) and while undoing the bolts, one of them was a bit stubborn and my drill caught and spun the rim too far and stripped the bolt head. now i was lucky to get it out but im having major dramas trying to source a replacement.
the bolt is an m8 (8x1.25) x 27mm with a 12 point (also referred to as a bihexagonal) head which measures 9mm accross the points of the head and the round flange is 12.9mm in diameter. it is also (presumably) grade 316 stainless steel (as its not magnetic).
picture of the bolt:
the other part im trying to find is the emblem from the centre cap. it had obviously come loose at some stage when the previous owner had the car and he had siliconed it into the centre cap and when i tried to push it free just like the other three, it cracked. now i know this part will be quite hard (if at all possible) to track down but i'd like to try just to keep the wheels looking like theyre supposed to. the other alternative is to have some aluminium pieces made up and annodise them black and fit them to the centrecaps.
picture of the wheel, centrecap and cracked emblem piece:
any help is appreciated guys,
Brad.

The only stitch center caps I can find are for the "precious" wheel:
http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m84643894
Or just the entire wheel:

Upgarage has boat loads of this kind of thing, but they don't put every little piece on the Internet. They just have a big bucket full of this and another bucket for bolts etc.
The only stich center caps they had on the website are these:

FYI: What you need to be searching for is: "Stich センターキャップ" you might throw "メッシュ" in there too. That is mesh spelled in katakana. But you're unlikely to find it searching in English only.

Thankyou! Can you just clarify what katakana text translates to what? Thanks!
Can anybody else give any links or anything on where I could track down the bolt? It's the most important part that I'm chasing
