I need to buy some bolts to replace some rusted and
corroded. The bolts I have hexagonal heads and a smooth
shank from the head to about halfway down, where the thread
starts.

Looking online I find most bolts have a thread from the
head all the way down, this isn't what I want.

Also, I only need to buy three, can anyone recommend
somewhere I can buy bolts in small numbers, these are 9mm
by 50mm A2 stainless, and not cheap (I've found 9mm x 50mm
threaded all the way at about £85/100, I definitely don't
want to by 100 when I only need three!).

As others have pointed out, you are after bolts.


I think those with thread all the way down are called 'set screws',
though I have no idea why.

Set screws are totally different.
