Mounting a Coronado SolarMax on a TV Gibraltar

Getting back into it after a six year break.

I've picked up a Coronado SolarMax 60, and naively thought it would slip right onto my TeleVue Gibraltar mount. The holes all line up, and I assumed I could use the bolts and wing nuts from my TV101. But I can't get the bolts out of the TV101 clam shell so I need another solution.

The clam shell bolt holes on the SolarMax appear to be 6mm and camera tripod compatible?

Any ideas for a source of bolts and wing nuts (or better - something like Bob's Knobs) that's easy to mount? Camera store? Bunnings didn't seem to have much.

Any input much appreciated ... before the cloud clears!
