Shops that sell grub screws???

Any ideas? Need 2 10mm M6 cone grub screws, cannot find anywhere that sells them for the life of me. Based near Nuneaton if that helps.

I wasn't being flippant, honest (I placed a link). You must need them really urgently?

An auto parts store? Do they need to be grub screws as long as they can't be seen? What about IKEA or a kitchen fitter- they often use grub screws in hinges etc for adjusting them.

Grub screw?

Intercourse during the lunch break???


Sorry - a very old rag mag that one.

Make one?
Cut a slot with a junior hacksaw in the threaded end of a suitably sized bolt, then just cut to length.
Or just use a carefully cut bolt so the head is just touching the face if it can't be seen easily.
