Tensioner for plantation shutters

[milkman]

any idea what this is called and where I can get some?

It was used as a tensioner for plantation shutters and looks the business for my project.

From your picture it looks like these are what you are after, though it is hard to judge the scale from the picture.

The threaded nut inserts are threaded but the top few mm is a hex socket for screwing it into your workpiece.
