From memory mk1's were the only one to use camber bolts, mk2 was different.

mk1s all have em as std I thought? one of them is like a cam which you turn to set camber. on mk2 they didnt have as std, but you can buy them. the mk2 ones are just thinner shank bolts.

Yes you can still get the bolts from vw. I got minein December  the problem comes with the nuts, but I am reliably informed by rubjohnny that mk2 nuts fit
