Default Where to get an M6 metric hanger bolt

I got a PowerModule quite a few months back and I am quite happy with it other than the fan noise.

Currently it is hanging from my old (Tek-light) hanging equipment because I can't find the right hanger bolt.

It looks like it is metric sizing, an M6 (6 mm size) hanger bolt.

Looking online I can't find these unless I want to buy 100 of them.

Anyone have any idea where to find these?

If a regular hex bolt will work try an autoparts store. You just need to know bolt size and thread pitch if you cant take the bracket with you.

Canadian Tire has a reasonable assortment of common metric bolts....

Thanks. It is a double-ended hanger bolt, one end is a 6 mm bolt and the other end is a wood screw.

McMaster Carr sells them singly if you end up having to order them online.
