My gut feel is that 75mm bolts with no washers should be just fine.Quote:

My take on this…
Go buy some 12.7 Button heads and be done with it [emoji41]
I'd love to but have been unable to find anywhere that can/will supply.Quote:

If you can advise me of a supplier I'll be all over them...
EDIT: found these M14 x 1.50p Metric Fine Plain Black Grade 12.9 Socket (12mm Key) Head Cap Screws DIN 912 online < M14 x 1.50p Metric Fine Plain Black Grade 12.9 Socket (12mm Key) Head Cap Screws DIN 912 >. But their dimensions are likely no better:

The head height at 14mm sticks up 4.5mm further than the hex head bolts.
The head diameter at 21mm only reduces the diameter by 5mm overall.
So it's possibly trading a gap in one area for a potential issue caused by the other.
