It's called a thrunge.

Most farm supplies shops stock them.

Are thrunges imperial or metric, do they do specific threaded thrunges?

don't know what a farmer would call it, in my industry it's a "quick fit toggle"

that one is probably a bit smaller than what you're after though

There are the same things that go on the back of trailers for the tailgates, right?

Cheers zilog, that looks like it’ll do 👍🏻

Edit, just read for sign frame so may be too small as you suggest

I find tying up my in-laws leads to a much quieter life.
