	Hi, an M8 nut is 16mm across the corners, so I googled "M8 deep nuts" and found a number of places that did them at 24mm long. So you could try your local fastener supplier. Just a thought! Colin

	I got them,but only in stainless steel,so I can't weld them to the mild steel box section. (Tried and the welds just crack)

	Hi, one of the google finds last night was through Amazon of all places. I know you don't want 50, but a call might see them sell you a smaller quantity. - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&orderID=&seller=A1HVFGS3RZAE8D Colin
