M10x1.5 bolt ( 32 mm long or more ) . Cutting it down. Only want thread.
Want about 8mm of thread inside dome and about 11-12mm of exposed thread ( for screwing into floorboard ).
Before cutting off head of bolt, thread a nut on. After cutting ( near tip of blue loctite container in photo , after measuring required length of thread ), then file end of thread and work nut over cut thread a few times to make sure it screws into floorboard thread.
.

Then insert thread about 8mm into dome nut with loctite. Once set , carefully screw into base of footplate/ floorboard with more loctite.
Cost approximately $2.40 AUD and my time .
