Replacement P-valve bolt

The bolt in my P-valve has gone walkabout.

Divers warehouse sell them for £12 each. O3 sell them for £15.

This seems a hell of a lot of money for a simple bolt that's had two
holes drilled in it. Can anyone recommend a cheaper source of bolts?

Ta,

Dominic

50p from an engineers shop and drill your own, after borrowing a friends to
mark where to drill...

If you know the size and thread you need, your local hardware store will
probably be able to help. Assuming it's a metric thread. If it's imperial
(like the EE), it's much more of a problem to find them, although if you
want such a bolt in marine grade SS, I can point you in a suitable
direction.

I took the bolt, clamped it in a vice and cut three diameters across it with
a cutting disk, rather than trying to drill holes in marine grade SS - an
exercise that I assumed would be futile if attempted with a mere power
drill!
