Garage Tie down Halfen bolts.

[paulhelenwilko]

Hello all.
I am trying to obtain some additional halfen bolts (just the bolts, don't need the eyes) to fit a hymer garage track. Pictures of the original :

I have found similar but not exact. Halfen bolts seem to be used a lot in the building industry but I cannot find any the same shape as these.
Brownhills are selling for a very generous £24 for 4. (These are obviously the gold plated and diamond encrusted version).

I wondered if anyone else had found a replacement or source ?

I sent Izwozral some of these we use workwise
Dont know if he managed anything with them... But might be worth asking if he managed.

Ring eye bolt

The single channel certainly looks like it and they do 8mm rectangular nuts, only problem, they are sold in units of 100! There are a lot of unistrut copies if that helps, and it might even be worth changing the rails for unistrut ? :)

You could try a greenhouse supplier as they are (or were) used for shelving etc.

Thankyou, I had a look at all these but could not find one in M8.

Found these on e-bay, I was a little concerned because there is a shoulder that may have prevented it seating properly.

Tried it out and it fits very snug. The Bolt head is not quite as wide as the Hymer original, but I think for my application it will be fine.

Thankyou for your help and advice.

Paul.
