He means the 1's securing the heater fan plastic cover that go up through the bottom plate, with the hex nuts up the top. I think.

I'll share a proportion of postage with you if you get me six in with your order. Better let me know the post price first.

I thought original Holden had a strange thread. Same as tail light and the ones that go through firewall to hold heater box in place. Or maybe not 3/16 but slightly smaller.

Yeah. Hard to find in imperial thread though and that looks like UNF. (who knows why? UNC would have worked? it's not like we're holding the wheels on)

Bunnings have them in metric.

I cant see but do the originals have screwdriver slots in them too?

Yep agree, Bunnings or a hardware/ fastener shop. I reckon the OP and others are trying to over think this, they are after all just coach head bolts, could not imagine GMH going out of their  way using unobtanium when the cheapest and nastiest would do. Agree, they are not holding the wheels on, its only a bloody heater .
