Is there any place in Oz that can make strong custom rod bolts?

ARP does not list the ones I need :(

6A12G MIVEC FTO motor

And what I am trying to do is fit stronger rod bolts into OEM conrods. Have checked with ARP USA and the next size up bolt is too big. If I fit it, it will run too close to the bearing

you dont need to up grade the rod bolts on those motors if your staying with NA.

I am trying to raise the rev limiter for larger cams without having to spend a lot of money on forged internals

I know of someone rallying a mirage with that engine, which has never been rebuilt and is stock besides a computer, exhaust and pod filter and regularly is in the 8500rpm range which is 300rpm more than stock rev cut

However still for piece of mind I would like to address all aspects of the bottom end for higher rpms
Looking at using around 9000rpm with peak power around the 8700-8800rpm range
