M16 calipers to RS/Capri struts

Hi i'm looking for some 7/16 unf bolts with 12mm shoulder. Are these available in oz? I've been to three fastner shops today. No one has them.
There's some in the UK but are longer to suit vented discs. I'm going to run solids. Would it be acceptable to use these with the washer under the bolt head instead of using it as a spacer?

I found a page where they used 12mm bolt with shoulder then reduced the thread from 12mm to 7/16 with a die set

Any help would be great thanks

    No Stress,
     
    I remember taking in my cap;ri struts and just saying have you got a bolt to fit this.  Not the best service but they had what i was after.
     
    Cheers,

    Found at last. Seems 7/16 UNF with 12mm shank is non existent here in oz. Thank goodness for ebay UK.
