Wildbri has a source but hes on his hols at the mo.

this guy sells them but the price is crackers: http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/M12-x-1-25_B22Q1.aspx

Fastfix definitely do them at a more sensible price

If my memory serves me correctly B&Q sells metric threaded bar, cant be 100% on the sizes though and I cant find it on line.

Confident they dont do them. They may do that size in a "construction" bolt but theyre too soft.

Bolts or set screws? set screws have thread all the way up.

 

[zippy656]

looks to clean....

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

set screws would do especialy if they are longer as they could be cut to size, if they were bolts longer than 80mm the non threaded portion would be too long. Cheers

Hi i am holiday, caravanning at Weymouth at the moment, using my dongle to keep my eye on you. I get all my nuts and bolts from the local agricultural engineers, they are very knowledgeable about bolt strengths and they sell one, two, any number you want. I always enjoy looking around them they have lots of interesting stuff. All market towns have a farmers supply store. regards bri

I've tried ourd wil bri they do nuts and lock nuts the right size and thread pitch but the only bolts the stock that thread pitch are 'shear bolts' and i am sure you will agree they are entirely unsuitable. Have a good holiday mate :thumb2

lol, I suppose youd know if theyve been overloaded.

We've got a couple of decent agricultural engineers near us if you want me to try them :nenau

I know Ive read it somewhere but can you confirm the length :thumb2
