You wont find 3/8 unf in B&Q. I have some but they aint cheap £30 for 10.
M10 x 150mm is very close and a lot cheaper.(£15 for 10)

Whats the difference between the 2? is there only a very slight difference in the size?

The unf is imperial (inches) and has a finer thread so capable of higher torque rating (tighter)
the M10 is metric (10 milimetres) and slightly bigger with a coarser thread pitch

Both SHOULD be ok as the difference in diameter is around 0.5mm

Forget B&Q and go to an Industrial Fastener supplier, I use a company called Anixter in Chesterfield(Derbyshire) there will be someone simlar near you  8)

On the original LR mount has a metal sleeve made for a 3/8 unf bolt the 10mm one wont fit through, because although the thread is 10 the shoulder of the bolt is 11mm

clbarclay:
What M10 bolts are you using with an 11mm shoulder :?

All the common metric bolts I've used the thread is if anything a fraction larger diameter than the shoulder. I have M10 (not sure what length) bolts holding my body on, they are a close fit through the bush sleeve and hole in the chassis but its not an interfirance fit.
