Alright, I just checked Google and found it; apparently it's a US
size, being 1/4"-20. As is no surprise, no local hardware shop seems
to have them. :(
I may have a "Plan B", in the form of sacrificing two table tripod
heads, by cutting them off, and glueing them to the alu strips. I
could of course do the same with the new swivel heads too, but I don't
want to glue those to the strips, of course. As a "plan C" (last
resort, really), I could try to find the closest match in terms of
metric bolts, and accept a less than perfect fit. This seems like a
bad idea though, as I fear it will wear out the thread.
To be continued...
Cheers,
Olafo
