Sorry if this has been discussed before:
to all the bodgers and techie people out there - where can I get a bolt to fit a standard camera tripod thread? I believe it would be a 1/4" Whitworth. M6 is the closest metric, but the thread is different so it just spins around. I'm trying to fix the camera bracket I made for my gun, from a toy telescope bracket (!) - unfortunately the bolt bit ( which by great chance was the right size to screw straight into the camera) as it's now rusted. I haven't yet tried everywhere locally- like old fashioned hardware places, but I suspect I'm not going to find one. Better still, does someone make specialised brackets? I can't believe I'm the first person in the world ever to want to do this!
If the bolt/bracket was stainless or something, even better!
