Stainless steel hexagon bar in whitworth head sizes

I am shortly to start renovating a 1957 Triumph Thunderbird and would like to make my own stainless nuts and bolts. I can’t seem to find hex bar in the correct sizes, there seems to be plenty of standard imperial and metric stuff about but nothing in whitworth head size. There seems to be 2 roads I can go down which is to use the nearest metric bar or go for imperial and end up using AF spanner sizes. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. I would really like to keep with whitworth spanners. I know I can buy stainless nuts and bolts in the right sizes but would much rather make my own, machining up round/square stainless to hex is an option but not the road I want to go!

Regards Mark P.
