Hi Paul,

you mean brake studs?

Yes they're still available. Do a search on ebay.

You will need to know what size you need generally 6mm, 8mm or 10mm thread.

Just don't ask a mechanic in Halfords. I had to explain (and show) one of them before when I was needing them :roll:

Didn't know they had mechanics in Halfords , very strange for a motor factors .

generally you'll need M8 for forks and M10 for the frame:
