my bolt is M8 x 25mm x 1.5(thread) diagonal of hex head is 14mm. The 14mm fits nicely into the end of the cam. If you want to use an allan head bolt use one that has a 14mm head, bolt size will be M9 or M10.

Thanks! Thats almost exactly what I went with. I believe it was an M9 x 40mm and the hex head was 13mm. Fit nicely and held the cams well!

I will post of some of my pics of the (very quick) tool I made using 1.5" angle steel, and pair of torches, and a MIG welder. There are some great templates on this forum with the dimensions, and anyone with some basic skills can easily make one and sell the money.

That being said if anyone ever needs to borrow a tool let me know!
