As a starting point a hex head flange bolt (often just called a flange bolt for short). Not sure about the square end though - you won't get something like that from B&Q or screwfix but you will get a standard flange bolt. You could just file the end of a flange bolt square if it is not inside an engine or that critical I suppose.

Cheers, "flange bolt" is exactly the information I needed to know.

The square end isn't strictly necessary for the required application (part of a Mondeo exhaust/EGR system), although I suppose it would be useful for prelocating the bolt.
