Anyone know where I can obtain some bolts like items B and C in the
picture on this page:
http://www.leevalley.com/en/Hardware...576,61994&ap=1
( http://goo.gl/9DNp3X in case the link is broken )

I need M6 thread with 10mm across flats on the head.
Hours of Googling has turned up nothing in the UK, anyone got any ideas?

(Before anyone suggests it, an M6 bolt works fine for semi-permanent
fitting, but is not satisfactory where you need it to slide freely in
the track)

Depending on how many, could you not just get some roofing bolts and
grind the heads to suit?

I needed some of those to fit tracking in the greenhouse. Made my own by
grinding to shape some dome headed ones on the bench grinder.

Can do you an M6 bolt with 8mm head:

or M8 bolt with 10mm head:

You probably won't like the prices though.

I saw those but they're not what I'm looking for, they are designed to
be inserted in the track at any point then rotated 90 degrees and the
nut done up for a permanent fixing. To slide well they need a lot more
surface in contact with the inner face of the track.
However on the same page I've just noticed these:

which look like they will be perfect with a piece of M6 stud loctited in.

If you want the proper greenhouse bolts Alloy T bolts .... there are
loads of places on line ... I bought some packs last year.
