Bonnet wheel mount - replacement pin/bolts

[Ranga]

Finally managed to swap my plain bonnet for one with a wheel mount kit (the proper reinforced one - I think ). Despite the vision hindrance and harder to open bonnet, this will allow me to move my second spare from under the 130 tray and replace it with a second water tank. I'll probably only put the second spare on when heading out on expeditions.

Anyway, the only issues are the main centre pin is a bit rusty, and probably should be replaced. I imagine this is only a locator (?) as there's no thread or anything on it. Which leads me to the other issue.

I need the bolts that are used on the 2 pins for holding down the spare. The guy I swapped with has only just bought his first defender, and whilst he had the special bracket that goes on top of the wheel and the 2 female threaded pins are there, he didn't have the bolts.

So, anyone know where to get both a centre pin and the 2 fixing bolts?

Forgot to mention - I also need the straight bonnet support to replace the scissor type. I figure this should be easy enough to make, but I'll have to find one to copy. Hopefully Weeds can help me out there

i have one bolt sheared off but the other can be removed.

Here may be a clue. This mob don't mail to Aust ,but this may be the bolt you're after, and they may be able to provide you with the part numbers of the other individual bits you need.

Rovacraft had all the parts I just bought recently as mine was missing most of the bits one of the bolts has 2 threads on it one that screws into locating female pins and the other end of thread is for a wheel nut(might be handy one day) the other bolt is a standard one(I can't remember size sorry)
