I am trying to track down a supply of either bolts or studding in 5/8th UNF - left hand thread. I only need the equivalent of 10 inches or so, as such would be happy with say 4 bolts that I could cut the heads off or an appropriate length of studding and am quite happy to purchase the minimum length (usually a meter) - any suggestions?

Thanks for all your suggestions - sadly I have come up with a complete blank. I have been forced to get some cheap rod ends and cut off the bolts - such a waste (and expensive!) but this was the only option.
