Adam, I’m 99.999% certain that you will find that your toenail is bolted down using 1/4-20 Phillips Oval Head (machine) screws. Length dependent on your hull/deck joint. IN the U.S. I buy them in bulk from McMaster-Carr. Much cheaper that way. When I was in Melbourne last I didn’t run across any hardware stores so dunno…. ;-)
I suspect that as I found, 80/85% of all fasteners that I removed from my topsides were that size bolt. I’m on my way to my boat to continue working on installing new lifeline stanchions and will measure just to be absolutely sure. Stay tuned.
