The bolt is N 906 371 01 and the plate is 078 109 149. Both used in the D3 so they should still be available although likely on back order.

Thanks Mikki! Good to have the part numbers.
Good point about the paint marks the belt was replaced twice so far since new and there are paint marks on the plates, so I doubt they were ever replaced.
Hmm not sure now maybe I should just keep the originals. I might get the bolts just because I'm anal lol.
