Isn't part of your A&P authority the ability to determine that the
parts you have are identifcal to the original, and therefor approve
them? We don't get PMA's on screws and bolts.

An A&P can only install approved parts - that includes screws of a
type approved by the manufacturer. The manufacturer builds the parts
under their manufacturing authority and not via the PMA process.

I have read that they can install owner manufactured parts?
