There is not a lot of clearance inside the Schertz beam
for a 10 mm socket so buy some metric internal wrenching
bolts from McMaster Carr. The correct size is 6 mm 1 mm pitch.

These are the bolts I used.  Since my beams have a closed bottom, I used
5/16" holes on the bottom side to pass the bolt heads through, but a
washer also slides in from the side.

I also used 8mm bolts on the outside pair in the rear (cast iron)
housing for extra strength.  The hole for these heads is too big, so
they clamp all the way through and have an internal support dowel.  The
front housing of the Renesis does not have enough "meat" around the 6mm
holes to enlarge them to 8mm, but most builders are not using a beam in
that area anyway.

These guys also have reasonable prices if you need small quantities, and
fast shipping:
