Not sure if you have a place like this where you live, but here there is a place that sells bolts, nuts, taps, dies, and all things related to fasteners. It's called Budget Bolt. Maybe you can find a place like that where you are.

We got our bed bolts from LMC but I'm sure you can get similar bolts from hardware stores...
