Don: Finding metric hardware in the States is impossible. What I hope to find is: chrome or stainless; metric then SAE; fine thread For nuts, I would like to find metric fine thread stand-off that I would cut to short width for nuts. As you recall, a stand-off looks like a long hex nut. For the bolt, if I can't find something that looks decent when trimmed to fit as you have also suggessted, I hope to find metric fine thread socket head cap screws. Be OK if the head is too large because that would allow for filing a flat. If the socket head is too small for a flat then, that's OK, I can live with that. Just happy to have good threads.
I hope some of our fellow European listers read this and perhaps will do the kindness of finding the metric fine threads in their local hardware store.
Thanks and Regards,
