Default Where to get long plastic bolts?

I need some 2 1/2" long X 1/4" plastic bolts to hold my wing on my Giant Stinger. The longest I have found at LOWES and a fastener store is 2".

Thanks.

At 2 1/2" you'll have to go to 5/16 diameter, or buy some all-thread rod and glue a nut to one end. http://www.mcmaster.com/param/asp/ps...stud;147=60628
