ECU reflash in Melbourne?

Anybody know any good places to get an ECu reflashed in Melbourne? I'm in the Western suburbs, but happy to travel for a good place.

Bike is a '25 Yamaha Tracer 9, not really looking for more power, more trying to smooth out the power delivery and improve rideability.

Tracer 9 GT & GT+ differences (Aussie spec)

Does anyone have a list of the differences between the Tracer 9 GT and GT+ sold in Aus?

I'm thinking of swapping my '25 GT+ for a new GT (basically don't like how the clutch works in the Y-AMT box, too jerky, on/off operation, annoying to ride in heavy traffic, can't be smooth at walking speed etc.)

The list of differences I think is:
No radar cruise control (normal cruise only, which I slightly prefer)
No blind spot monitoring (couldn't care less)
No illuminated switchgear (don't care, operate by feel, and not all illuminated anyway)
No tyre pressure monitoring (was kind of handy, but can live without)
No unified braking (doubt I'll notice the difference)
No vehicle hold control / hill hold (actually useful, but could live without)

Help finding these furniture fasteners

I'm trying to find a couple of these fasteners that I need for a set of dining chairs, I'm only missing two, but am happy to buy more if I can only find them and happy for any international suggestions that may ship to Aus.

I have tried searching for flange nuts, chicago nut/bolt, cabinet connectors, barrel nuts, and a few more things I can't remember. Both ends are identical, and I'm not bothered about finding threaded rod, that I can get easily.

I've found stuff that looks similar, but the heads are too small.

These are M6 threads and the heads are 20mm diameter, everything I've found so far is 10 or 12mm diameter, which would look odd as they are visible when installed. A lot of what I find seems to be for leather work/bags/belts hence the smaller size.

I can't go back to the manufacturer as it's a vintage piece and they no longer exist (dining set from Aussie firm Danish Deluxe, operating 1958 to early 1980s). I'd prefer not to replace all of the (4 pairs per chair, 6 chairs) as I'd like to keep as much originality as possible.

Any help gratefully received, as I've exhausted all sources and searches I can think of.
