if its a metric rack,they're M14,
available from anynut/bolt supplier.
or if you have access to an M14 tap, just drill and tap some M12 Nuts to suit.

As Ray said M14, not a commonly stocked size. I got mine from a agricultural machinery company (oakes bros, Reading). Common size on farm equip
apparently.

I have a pair on the desk in front of me, about 35p each from the local Ford dealer and same as Sierra and later Escort racks use as well I think.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
