Prototype for everything if you know where to look. Clever thinking Tom, I like the look of that wood (and the source).

What size nuts/bolts do you use for 7/8ths?

I would like to use scale nuts which are hard to find?

If you can't buy ready made nuts/bolts (heads) you could make your own by cutting thin sections of square or hex plastic rod which is probably available in a range of sizes.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

I have some ba 8 - 12 size but use them sparingly as I'm too stingy to use them on every build. I much prefer my acrylic rivets at £2 a thousand :D
