They should be 7/32 Whitworth. Here are some on ebay:

Sad *** I agree! However all I did was google Meccano bolts,

find

the ebay ad which told me the size, post it into TinyURL, and

reply to

the O/P - took all of 15 seconds. I knew that they were a none
preferred Whit size but not which <G>

Sad - and wrong! They were, and still are, 5/32 Whit, not 7/32.

Odd as if you look at that url I posted it would seem to be an
original Meccano packet (from Binns Road in Liverpool - now THERE'S a
sad ***!!!) which distinctly says 7/32", though I agree 7/32" at
5.5 mm seems a tad large.

Have another look:

7/32" long?
