I found an excellent place near Birmingham a couple years ago, will try and dig out there name.

For big bolts they stock blanks, you just tell them how long you want it and how much thread and they make it.
I had 2 big buggers for a strimech shear grab and cost peanuts.

My feeder chap snapped it this morning and i heard some distance away! Off a strimech grab and not practical to weld. Thanks

That's funny cause that's what I wanted them for!
The bolts were all bent and ripped a chunk out of the top grab where bolt head sits.

I had some new bronze bushes made to suit a slightly bigger bolt then welded the boss back on and added some straps both sides.

Strimech admitted it was a bad design so that's why I went bigger bolts😂
