So - can anyone with a similar head give me details
or source for the camera holding bolt?

The spare bolts for many kinds of plate are interchangeable. It'll be
much easier to find one that will do rather than the very specific one
that's missing. Take the plate to a good camera shop.

I was hoping to get the job done cheaper than that ;-)

I've gone through a similar exercise for a bolt
for a Gitzo, and didn't much like the price
of a single bolt!!

The Gitzo bolt I eventually got almost works in the Benbo;
but 3/8" section is a little too long.

But I have taps, dies and files in my workshop... (no lathe)
