Have you tried searching for ACME threaded rod Graham? Now that 3d printing is popular it's quite cheap in 8mm, 10mm and 12mm diameters.

ACME threaded rod is not a metric standard [whatever is advertised on ebay] … The metric equivalent is called Trapezoidal.

Gosh that burns! Good spot though – searching for 'trapezoidal' finds even more rods.

The worst of it, Dave, is that the link you posted claims 8mm ACME threaded rod, and a T8 nut to fit.

29° / 30° … Who cares ?
