McMaster-Carr did not have M4 flat head bolts long enough - I needed these to be 70mm.

Wow, so you wrapped a hack saw blade with tape and went to town huh? How long did that take?

Actually, I was able to use the regular hacksaw with a 12" blade for about 9" in from either side. Then the frame of the saw got in the way of cutting further. It was only the center 6" or so that I needed the blade with the tape handle. It took a little time and patience, but with practice, I've found that I can cut very straight with a hacksaw - its long straight blade can serve as a guide once the cut is started.
