Does anyone have a pair of these they'd be prepared to part with? With matching brass nuts?

I could make replacements out of long SS hex bolts but there's the dissimilar metals problem with the element support wires.

Thanks Pete. Yes, as long as the threaded part is 15mm or more it will work. Even 10mm is possible if I were to leave off one of the nuts.

I checked. 15mm thread and the Pins are 50mm in total length with Nuts,,
Post them off on Tuesday, until then you will have to use a modern nasty looking thing.
