Name of this fastener please

[blackadder2]

Could somebody tell me the name of this type of fastener and possibly where i may obtain one.
They are used to join the legs of a pine table to the the top.
It consists of a solid steel cylinder 12mm in diameter and 30mm long with a slotted top and a hole drilled into the side to accommodate a m8 stud .
This slides down into the top of the leg and the stud is inserted into the side of the leg at the top and screwed into the cylinder.
a nut is screwed onto the stud which attaches each leg to the corners of the table top through a steel corner plate.
It is a common commercial way of fixing but i don't know what they are called

Hello,

£2.69 for 50 at scewfix, pricey? They are actually three times that on eBay, but make your own if it floats your boat!

Mike beat me to it, I made a couple years ago, took just 10 minutes from bits I had in the workshop. Wouldn't have bothered had I found them at £2.69 for 50 though probably would still have the other 48 sitting on the shelf. :lol:
