Default Main Shaft/Center Bolt-Stretch bolt?

Finalizing the t-belt install, and getting to the part where I look at torque specs. Bentley says to always replace the "center bolt" that goes into the main shaft. Kind of makes sense given the "extra 180-degree" turn they call for.

What have others done? I need to get this done today, and of course there are no dealerships open to get a new bolt from on a Sunday.

So much for blau and their "complete" kits. They also forgot to include a cam seal removal tool, but didn't forget the seals.

Looks like a stout bolt, but I'd hate to be wrong and find out through an engine sacrifice.
