Anyone know where I can obtain some bolts like items B and C in the picture on this page:
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?

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

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