Anyone know where you can get double ended fixings? I'm after ones that
have a wood screw at one end, and a bolt at the other. Not large,
something like a size eight with a 6mm bolt, or so.

Cheers

Part 16020 but be aware they only have 10mm of threaded M6, not equal
amounts as their picture - I would have sent them back but it wasn't worth
the bother!

Hmm, the picture looks to be exactly what I'm after, but 10mm would
not be enough, dang it!

Cheers for looking though.

Do you mean a wood screw at one end and threaded at the other like a
stud. Screwfix sell them and IIRC you can find them in sheds with
staircase parts and fittings.

That'd do me. I guess a quick nip to Screwfix is in order.

Cheers!

Aren't they called dowel screws?

Would seem so. That explains why I didn't get much from trying to search
Screwfix with "double ended screws".

Usage varies no doubt, but in my book a 'dowel screw' is a double-ended
woodscrew. The item with a woodscrew at one end and a parallel thread
machine screw at the other is called a 'speaker screw' - presumably from
its original use for fixing loudspeaker drive units into wooden cabinets.
