Default Levelling Feet

I've just taken delivery of a corner arbour, like this:
http://www.screwfix.com/p/corner-arb...-x-2-4m/96919# which
needs to stand on a firm level surface.

It's going to stand on a crazy-paved area, which is firm enough but not
very level. The only bits touching the ground are 5-off 3x3 (or
thereabouts) posts. I suppose that I could sit each leg on a quarry tile
with each tile levelled on a bed of mortar, but it would probably be
easier to mount each leg on some sort of levelling foot - which can be
wound up and down to suit.

I would need to drill the ends of the legs, and fit some sort of captive
nut or socket for the threaded part of the foot to screw into. The feet
would need to be reasonably heavy duty - maybe 75mm diameter with a 14
or 16mm thread.

Any ideas where I can get the necessary bits without them costing an arm
and a leg (sorry!)?
