They’re surprisingly cheap. I got ten M10 x 100mm from Toolstation for less than £3.

My apologies for the confusion - did not realise I was using incorrect nomenclature
What you're after is generally known as a cap head (or socket head) bolt (or screw)
.
Like punctuation pedants, some engineers will fight to the death over which they believe is which
, but it really doesn't really matter.
Hex head has a hexagonal head to fit a spanner, cap head uses an Allen key
I have one from an extender M6 x 110mm (Length from underneath the head), and various other lengths, if you need something shorter.
Or you can get a pack of 5 cheap from eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/277195185021
It's not structural/safety critical, just for fitting, so find something the right length, or longer.
The cap on the top of the extender (into which the head of the cap head bolt sits) is usually just a normal headset cap.
All the best,

Brilliant thank you for your help and explanation. I shall try my best to remember in the future! Most of my friends from school went into engineering backgrounds but alas I went elsewhere...
