Hi any idea were i could get some 12mm x 1.5mm bolts taper needs to be 60 degree and they have to be 25mm long.I had some nice chrome wheels fitted today but when they guy went to put new bolts in on the left side they was the wrong thread.so he had to use my old bolts so i have no locking bolts.I need 6 bolts and two locking bolts.On one side of my van its right hand thread and on the other its left hand thread.Any ideas.

Can't help with sourcing some sadly, but if push comes to shove you could have them made up by an engineering firm.

Any machine shop will do, or someone with a lathe that can run the leadscrew and chuck direction independently (in order to cut a left hand thread) most "home" lathes like mine don't have this feature.

The company that made up the channelling for the Dodge is in Stoke (PKD Engineering I think they're called), but there's bound to be similar outfits over your way I'd have thought (probably more than over here in fact).
