An interesting question about bolts

[gravesend46]

Prepare yourselves for possibly the most exciting thread ever:

I've lost one of the bolts for a bed... but having looked in DIY stores, all I can find are bolts with heads on. This is a c80mm length bolt with no head on either end, and the thread runs all the way through. Any idea what they're called? Can't seem to find them anywhere. They're a bit like this, but without all the stuff on the left side!

Screwfix (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.dgm2.com/m/screwfix/t.asp^QS^A=33130^QA^I=813) are usually pretty good for things like that :thumbs:

This is more a suppliers question anyway.

It's called "studding".

It's called "studding".

Aka all thread or screwed rod. I sell it at my work in 1 mtr lengths 6mm - 24mm

you could of course just take a standard bolt and saw off the head....
