Where to get an M6 metric hanger bolt
 
I got a PowerModule quite a few months back and I am quite happy with it other than the fan noise.

Currently it is hanging from my old (Tek-light) hanging equipment because I can't find the right hanger bolt.

It looks like it is metric sizing, an M6 (6 mm size) hanger bolt.

Looking online I can't find these unless I want to buy 100 of them.

Anyone have any idea where to find these?

If a regular hex bolt will work try an autoparts store. You just need to know bolt size and thread pitch if you cant take the bracket with you.

Canadian Tire has a reasonable assortment of common metric bolts....

Thanks. It is a double-ended hanger bolt, one end is a 6 mm bolt and the other end is a wood screw.

McMaster Carr sells them singly if you end up having to order them online.

Do you have any welder friends in Rupert? They could make one up for you easily

I appreciate the offer, they don't seem quite long enough to get a good bite on the wood in my ceiling so I'll order the McMaster ones.

Thanks, I am seeing if they will ship to Canada. Don't know why they don't include the hanger bolts with the PowerModules.

OK this is just a follow-up post in case anyone is looking for these hangar bolts and searches this thread in the future.

I ended up getting a pack of 10 of these hangar bolts delivered from Europe. So if anyone needs a pair of them PM me.
