Well, Bicycle Classics http://www.bicycleclassics.com has them, Loose Screws has them <http://www.thethirdhand.com>, and Harris Cycles has them <http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/brakes.html#dropbolts>, with Sheldon Brown explaining how to install them <http://sheldonbrown.com/dpdropbolt.html>. Have fun with your "hot rod".
