Anyone know where to find these in the UK,Google finds them in China and Australia but over here.

I can only find the flimsy things for hanging mugs on.

Many years ago when I worked in the kitchen trade we used things like that to hang wall cupboards. They were made by Fischer Fixings.

You could try these guys - they might be able to help: Bolt and Nut Services

A little more detail might help the search ?

What are you fixing into and what weight are you trying to support ? Even at 8 or 10 gauge they won't be particularly load bearing.

Must they be right angle termination rather than a more regular curved hook ?

Do they need to be well finished ? Ie in visible location or hidden away ?

For instance, you can get right angle bent/hook bolts, in nearly any gauge but that would require a tapped hole or rawlbolt fixing to take them which may not be applicable.
