I'm trying to re-use a desk which I had in the loft in our old house but we seem to have mis placed the fixings, can anybody tell me what these are called or where I might get some otherwise I'm going to have to diy something (not my strong suit) ?

they look similar to the parts from a kanya aluminum extrusion fixing system, although i could be wrong.

edit: you could try other places which sell aluminum extrusion for their interface products.

The two black screws are grub screws with a Phillips head. Can't tell the size from the photo as there's no scale. They're common and should be in all the usual places.

Similar to dowel barrel nuts and barrel insert screws except it's an indented groove and not a hole right through.

Thanks all that gives me something to go on.

The grub screws are relatively straightforward to replace and depending on how visible the location can simply be replaced by short set screws (what non engineers call bolts) of the right thread and length. It would just stick out a bit. The bar they lock onto on the other hand is not a very standard component you would probably need a machinist to knock up a few of those for you. There are lots of hoobyist machninists who might be interested in the challenge for beeer money.

Had similar on my wall hung toilet, cant find the instruction to see what they called them but a bit of Googling comes up with https://www.glaserbolt.com/torpedo similar and somewhere to start?
