Camera mount bolts

[rikyuu]

hi,

does anyone know of a handy place to get the bolts (plus nuts) that screw into the tripod mounting hole of a normal camera? I've found a reference to them, describing them as "Whitworth bolts and nuts - 1/4" 20 threads per inch". My Skywatcher 127 Mak (lovely scope by the way!) has them threaded into it's (strangely inverted) dovetail bar and I would like to mount it into a dual bracket with the C80-ED.

Thanks

many thanks, and from one post it appears they are UNC not Whitworth as I first thought....ah and then reading on another post mentions they are Whitworth!

Settled on UNCs from https://www.namrick.co.uk
