Has anyone ever ordered these and if so where from. Mine are starting to round off.

im after the ones that go through the back plate and hold the cylinder in place.

M6 x 12-15mm will suffice

No

 

Never use stainless in load bearing or critical places. Brakes being one. Buy 8.8 grade zinc plated for this job.

I take it they are brittle?

even good ones are about 2/3rd the tensile strength of a standard 8.8 ht screw/bolt at yield
