Dan,
      Dr Manta, in Germany does these bolts for about £15 each. Alternatively you can just put normal bolts through from a nuts and bolts supplier. Make sure you use Nyloc nuts on the new bolts though. Don't be tempted to use Stainless bolts as they are not very strong and could snap easily......Luke.

....... But even if it was it would be fine! Done it plenty of times and never had one come loose.

Ps 20 quid for a plated bolt and nut and washer set for these bolts sounds fair enough to me! Drew is running a business and getting them plated involves running around the place, it's not like he's just picking them up at asda!
