Your help please... Where to get these bolts!

[j_mcvic]

Il start off by saying that if this is in the wrong section then I do apologise!

I'm looking for the bolts shown in the picture below. They need to be about 75mm long and either an M8 or M10 with a hex head on the top and an internal thread. I don't know the exact sizes I need yet because I want to see if such a thing exists first as I cant find anything online! I'm not even 100% sure what they are called.

Thanks
Jamie

Great name but these are something different.
Now Mr Octoetc how long have you have that image filed?
Jamie, you will get a sensible answer in the end.

And finally for tonight http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOT-OF-EL...489?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4acbb558c1

If it were me (depending on what you need to do obviously) I would buy these and get a king soul to turn them down. Depends on how many you need . They are available on ebay locally in smaller quantities

Robotstar, you rotten sod.
Had me for a few seconds there.
I am always amazed by the variety of fixings available. But eventually the idiot realised he was being gullible.

 

[chunkolini]

I apologise for being smart, but I will link this drawing to a bunch of bikers I know.
I will report back.
Edit
Just posted this including link to drawing above.
Some of these guys are just getting into bikes, the older boys might agree with the ideas presented.

Sadly I do not have a lathe, nor do I know someone who does have a lathe! Only need 8!
