Dual wheel accesories

Just bought a pair of stocks stepdown duals, im in need of an extra two clamps, but also 8 eye nuts.
I popped to my local tyre place, and i nearly fell over when he told me the price of stocks eye nuts, @ nearly £17 each.
Anyone used bow nuts for the job ? Would they be strong enough (4 per wheel) ?
Any other recomendations of where to buy, or what to get.
Thanks HH
I have used bow nuts for dual wheel clamps. I couldn't find any with a fine thread so had to replace the bolts as well, the trouble is then that they worked lose. Needed checking regular to start with but fine since. Only on a 95hp tractor though.
 

Seen the first ones, but had a measure this morning and unfortunately the length of the thread is 60mm too short, i need a bolt length of 120mm to fit the lugs on the tractor. Ive a couple of people i need to pop by to see whethet they have something tucked in the back of the stores.

Are you bolting them threw the rim to pan bolts
I put some on a deere and just drilled rims so i used the normal short bolts
Just started small and kept going up in size off drill but now got a mag drill
 
Yes going to use eye nuts on the rim to dish bolts, any savings by trying to do it any other way, would be lost in time and effort.
Plenty of duals clamped to these type of eye nuts, which are usually less than half the price of the stocks.

Its just a matter of finding a supplier.

Which way are you wanting to step , just made some step ups from 38 to 46 ,by cutting a rim as its 38 on flat bit where wheel centre fits ,made a tidy conversion ,
46 inch rim ,with a 42 inch rim cut down to to make the step down ,go into a 800/38 , then welded a rolled flat for clamps to hook onto
