Supplier / alternative to threaded rod / big head
I’ve used the threaded rod fixings (see off topic for pic) in the past to great success, but a job I’ve got has a stroke width that’s a bit of a concern from appearances sake.
Anybody know where I can buy these in say 1/2" wide or less – or a ‘big head’ with a plastic base of similar size and a good screw length?
Job is unsuitable for standard locators due to uneven wall surface.
Thanks
Dave

David,
have you checked the Bighead catalogue? I have a feeling that there is a female M5 version with a rectangular base plate which I think is about 12 X 25mm.Steve

I did see those in Bighead. The base, is just a tad too big to be ideal – would do at a push.
May end up having to go ‘custom’ on this job – like drilling out the centres of standard 12mm pop locators & inserting a rod to get what i want.
