Default CA bolt retainers

When I put my dropped spindles on my '91 S-Blazer a month ago, I couldn't get a wrench or socket on the UCA nuts enough to loosen them, so I cut off the retainers on the bolt heads, and spun the bolts out from there. Reassembled everything, THEN it occurs to me that it might be a wee bit difficult to do an alignment if the camber needs to be adjusted without those bolt head retainers in there...doh!

I checked the usual suspects of auto parts stores around here with no luck. Is that something I can get at the dealer, or am I SOL here, and will be visiting the scrapyard again soon? I'll buy new bolts if I have to.
