    Where might I get some wood to metal studs/screws ?

    They are a stud where half is threaded to screw into wood & the other half threaded to take a nut.

    I appreciate that this might go in DIY but I need somewhere in Galway of possible.

    I will try your suggestions but they are a very specialised item. Even a lot of the online suppliers don't sell them.
    Defo no from Woodies !

    I was actually drinking a Stella when the wink arrived !

    I think they are actually a component of hand rails bolts.
    As earlier stated Tripart would definitely be the place to go, but I would suggest to you that if your having trouble getting them form a hardware to try a stair manufacturer or a joinery shop for as mention above hand rail bolts. They would be very similar to, if not the same as, the bolts in your attached photograph.

    Just to let anyone else know Galway Fastener centre is Tripart & yes they have my Stud Screws - that is what they are officially called.

    Thanks for the good advice
