Set screws are that type as in the photo, with a full length thread? Assuming I read that link correctly, that is.
You're right set screw is fully threaded, bolts have a shoulder (if they're long enough)

I ordered a load of fasteners for a Range Rover classic a few years ago from some one "oop North" can't remember the name though, used to advertise in the LR mags.

Local supplier is Thomas Graham and sons, they're based in Carlisle but have depots around Cumbria and Lancashire.

Also worth trying tractor dealers as a lot keep them for older stuff.

Just a quick search, but you can make all the sections to suit each different requirement.
I am sure Sparey has a section on them. If required I can scan the pages tonight/tomorrow.
Cheers.
Are the designs for that in his Amateur's Lathe book, or some other other title? I have that one knocking about here if so, but if not I'd definitely appreciate those scans. That looks like it could be a handy fixture in a multitude of ways.I've just seen 370 Kg of brand new UNF nuts & bolts go for £52.00, costmesomeone the best part of £1000 when new.
Not good on your end, though a nice bargain for someone else. I haven't seen owt which comes close to that. There's one on there at the moment, for example, who is selling domed head brass at approx. £1 per screw.
Cheers. That seems to be where the catch is. If I look for countersunk slotted bolts, it points me to set screws etc. Trying to get the countersunk head bolts with the plain portion keeps sending me round in circles, and obviously set screws are full length thread. This is one of the reasons I'm thinking making them might be a lot less frustrating.
Those shoulder screws would be usable at a push if only they did them with countersunk heads, which it appears they don't judging from that link?Cheers.
I'll try those if I don't have any luck with the others.

Cheers.
I think so, but now I have offered I will have to find mine.
Even if there is nothing there, the design is straight forward and you can make it however you want.
I will start the hunt.
Edit: Well that did not take long, but the bad news. Nothing there so it must be in one of the 163no MEWS magazines, and I can never remember which issues have the full contents.
I do not mind looking, but it may take some time.

No worries. I should be able to work from that photo of one, so don't go out of your way.
If you happen to drop across it at any point though, I'll definitely take you up on those scans.Cheers.
I'll add those to the list of suppliers I'll be badgering.
